New Delhi: Despite the bloodbath on Wall Street, even as global markets crash, Trump still continues to say there is no inflation, even as the week is expected to be dominated by the fallout of President Trump's reciprocal tariffs on US trading partners.
According to Donald Trump, food prices are down, there is no inflation and the longtime abused America is bringing billions of dollars a week from countries who have abused tariffs.
And now that the new tariffs are in place, he says the biggest abuser of them all, China—whose markets have crashed—has also raised its tariffs by 25% (not "34%"). And on top of it, he says the revanchist coumntries have not acknowledged his warning for abusive countries not to retaliate.
