It only takes a few statements to send markets reeling, and Donald Trump has demonstrated this once again. A Washington Post article suggested that his team was exploring a more nuanced approach to tariff policy. This hypothesis alone was enough to propel stock indices upward, with investors betting on an easing of trade tensions. However, the former president was quick to react. In a message published on social networks, he firmly denied these reports, and denounced yet another attempt at media manipulation. This abrupt turnaround sent shockwaves through the financial markets.
