Trump holds cabinet meeting after tariff policy reversal

President Trump conducted a cabinet meeting that has been described as 'Kremlin-esque,' following his backtrack on a controversial tariff policy that unsettled global markets. Cabinet members expressed excessive praise for Trump's leadership, with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and others delivering tributes that emphasized the president's vision for America, despite the looming threat of bankruptcy for many small businesses due to his tariff decisions. Elon Musk joined the chorus of admiration, thanking Trump for his 'fantastic leadership.' The meeting occurred after Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for over 75 countries while maintaining a 10% tariff on most global imports and increasing tariffs on China to 125%. This cabinet assembly reflected a continued effort to bolster Trump's narrative of strong leadership amidst economic turbulence. Critics noted the lack of substantive discussion on the negative impacts of his tariff policies.
