US President Trump says other countries should be thanking him and he's very proud of what they did, while he added that had they not done this, there would have been a nuclear war, adds China, Japan, and South Korea should be helping them.

What it means

This comment from President Trump reflects a significant geopolitical posture that may elevate tensions in U.S. relations with key Asian nations. His remarks could lead to market volatility as investors assess the implications for risk assets like equities and commodities, especially if they view this rhetoric as a potential precursor to policy shifts or escalations. Keep an eye on safe-haven assets such as gold and the JPY, which could be in focus depending on market sentiment.
