Trump's SHOCKING Tariff Threats, Third Term Hint, and Elon Musk's CIA Visit!
by Alex Ingram in PoliticsPresident Donald Trump is poised to impose sweeping tariffs on various countries, including potential secondary tariffs on Russia and Iran, by April 2nd. He has shown indifference to potential price hikes for American automakers resulting from these tariffs. Trump's rhetoric has intensified, expressing anger towards Vladimir Putin and warning of further action if a Ukraine peace deal isn't reached. He also threatened Iran with bombing if a nuclear deal isn't made. Adding to the drama, Trump hinted at methods for a third term, despite constitutional limitations. Meanwhile, the White House declared the "Signal scandal," involving National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, closed. European leaders anticipate a major onslaught of US tariffs. Elon Musk is scheduled to visit the CIA at the invitation of Director John Ratcliffe. Tuesday marks a significant election night, featuring key races in Wisconsin and Florida. The Wisconsin Supreme Court race and special congressional elections are highly anticipated. Wall Street is on edge due to Trump's tariffs, with stocks experiencing significant drops and fears of a recession growing. Goldman Sachs has increased its recession probability forecast. A potential Saudi Arabia trip for Trump is being considered. The Kremlin responded to Trump's comments on Putin, stating that they continue working on bilateral relations and peace in Ukraine. Trump's interview with NBC News included stark criticism and threats towards Russia and Iran. He expressed anger at Putin's stance on Ukraine and threatened secondary tariffs on Russian oil if a deal isn't reached. He warned of bombing Iran if a nuclear deal isn't made and the possibility of reimposing secondary tariffs. Trump's tariff gamble on "Liberation Day" (April 2nd) risks economic instability and further alienating US allies. His policy's potential downsides include increased consumer prices and no guarantee of firms returning production to the US.
