Trump Assures Investors: My Policies Will Remain Steady

Global Tariffs: Trump’s Commitment to Unchanging Policies

​President Donald Trump has reiterated his commitment to his aggressive trade policies, stating that they will remain unchanged despite significant economic repercussions. On April 4, 2025, he wrote on Truth Social:​

“TO THE MANY INVESTORS COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES AND INVESTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!”

This declaration comes amid a backdrop of market volatility. The announcement of comprehensive tariffs has led to a sharp decline in U.S. stock markets, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling over 1,400 points within the first hour of trading on April 4.

In response to China’s imposition of a 34% tariff on U.S. goods, President Trump criticized China’s actions, asserting that they “played it wrong” and “panicked.” He maintained that his administration’s policies are designed to strengthen the U.S. economy by encouraging domestic manufacturing and reducing trade deficits.​

However, these measures have drawn criticism from various quarters. Critics argue that the tariffs could lead to increased consumer prices and potentially trigger a global trade war. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has also expressed concerns that the tariffs may contribute to significant inflation.
