Trump responds as reporter asks ‘the best question’ he’s ‘ever been asked’
During a White House press conference, President Trump was questioned about recent comments from economist Torsten Sløk, who suggested that Trump may have “outsmarted everyone” with his approach to tariffs.
To provide context: after taking office in January, Trump introduced steep tariffs targeting key U.S. trade partners—including Canada, Mexico, and China—followed by additional taxes on imported goods.
Although heavily criticized at the time, the U.S. economy now appears robust, with both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching record highs on Friday, June 27.
