The Donald Trump cabinet meeting ended after more than an hour, during which he repeatedly returned to tariff negotiations. On the issue of the European Union, Trump said that “each country is different” but that the EU would be treated as a block. “We are seeing it as a single block,” he said. They have been very hard, but very intelligent. They were ready to announce reprisals. And then they learned what we did with respect to China and other countries, but China. And they said: “We are going to contain ourselves a bit.” The United States Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besent, said he saw no “unusual” in Thursday’s stock market. The inflation figures were good, the oil fell and the bond market was “successful,” said Besent. Upon two, going down one is not a bad proportion, or uploading 10, lowering 5, and I think that, as we have spoken, as we advance in the tail and reach an agreement with these countries, they will bring us their best offers.
