Navarro Confronts Sky Reporter Over Tariff Questions, Stock Market Volatile

Peter Navarro, senior trade adviser to President Trump, erupted in frustration during a confrontation with Sky News reporter Mark Stone over the President's fluctuating tariff policies. After Trump announced a 50% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum, he reversed the decision just hours later, which prompted Stone to question the President's consistency. Navarro accused the reporter of 'hectoring' him and insisted that the President was 'negotiating strategically,' dismissing concerns about the impact of these tariffs on the stock market. Stone pointed out that the policy changes were causing turmoil in the markets, to which Navarro retorted, 'It's not causing havoc.' The exchange highlighted the contentious atmosphere surrounding U.S. trade negotiations as Navarro repeatedly told the reporter to 'stop that crap.' This incident comes amid significant volatility in the stock market attributed to Trump's tariff announcements.
