“The prices are coming. He announced it, and he was not joking. The prices are coming. Of course they are,” said Lunick.
He added that the White House does not envisage an extension of the starting date.
“There is no postponement. They will certainly stay in place for days and weeks,” said Libnick. “The president must reset world trade. Everyone has a trade surplus and we have a trade deficit.”
During the two negotiation sessions after the declaration, global stocks have erased $ 7.46 billion in market value, based on market capitalization of the global S&P market index, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.
The comments of Lunick echo those of the secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent to “Meet the Press” of NBC on Sunday. Bessent said the Trump administration “will take the course” by imposing the prices.
