Trump Trade Advisor: Media Manufacturing Tariff Fear, Fear Will Disappear Upon Agreement

BlockBeats News, April 30th, in a recent interview, Trump's trade advisor Navarro launched a scathing attack on the media, arguing that as President Trump implements his trade agenda, the news media employs "scare tactics" to sow more fear among the public. Navarro stated, "Typically, it takes a long time to reach agreements — around 18 months. But we will do this on 'Trump Time,' which is just the right time. The American public has a short memory, and all the pain and all the scare tactics that the media is putting them through right now will go away with the first deal."

Navarro predicted that the United States might first reach a trade agreement with the UK, India, or South Korea, and once these issues are resolved, the public will see the effectiveness of Trump's trade strategy. "Once we start hitting a series of agreements, people will begin to understand that Trump's strategy is spot on, and the world needs to stop gaming us." (FXStreet)
