US President Trump, via Truth Social, says the US has never done better and says tariffs are the main reason, hundreds of billions of dollars have been taken with virtually no inflation and national security has never been as strong as today.

Trump's statements on trade and tariffs may reinforce a protectionist narrative, potentially influencing market sentiment regarding the US dollar and equity performance. His assertion that tariffs benefit the economy could underpin price stability and national security, which might have implications for inflation expectations and risk appetite across various asset classes.
