US President Donald Trump on Tuesday stressed the urgency of resolving ongoing tariff disputes, warning that delays could pose significant risks to the economy. According to BLOOMBERG, Trump said, “Losing appeal on tariffs would be an economic disaster. We have to get decision on tariffs now.”
The President also tied current market jitters to policy uncertainty, adding that “the stock market goes down because of uncertainty.” According to Bloomberg, Trump’s comments reflect the administration’s mounting pressure to finalize tariff decisions as businesses and investors await clarity on trade and tax policies.
Trump also used the press conference to address wider geopolitical concerns. He indicated that the U.S. will take steps to support Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict, stating, “We’ll be doing something to help people in Ukraine live.”
When asked about the deepening relationship between Moscow and Beijing, Trump dismissed concerns, saying he is “not concerned about China and Russia ties.” He further emphasized that “Russia and China would never use their military on the US.”
These remarks come at a time of heightened global tension, with Washington closely monitoring the strategic moves of its key rivals. Trump’s statements appeared aimed at reassuring both domestic and international audiences that the U.S. remains firmly in control of its economic and security agenda.
