WASHINGTON — President Trump brushed off a steep stock market plunge Thursday following the announcement of his “reciprocal” tariffs — saying he expected a reversal of the brutal impact of his new fees on most imported goods.
“I think it’s going very well. It was an operation like what a patient gets operated on, and it’s a big thing,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn.
“I said this would exactly be the way it is. We have six or $7 trillion coming in to our country, and we’ve never seen anything like it. The markets are going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the country is going to boom.”
