Fox News Hosts Criticize Trump's Tariff Strategy Amid Market Concerns

Following President Trump's recent announcement of a 90-day pause on tariffs, conflicting messages emerged from his administration, with officials previously asserting that no pause would occur. Fox News aired clips of Trump and his advisors, including National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett and Senior Trade Counselor Peter Navarro, denying any intention to delay tariffs. Meanwhile, Senator Deb Fischer emphasized the need for Congressional input on tariff decisions, coinciding with a bipartisan effort led by Senators Chuck Grassley and Maria Cantwell to formalize this. Fox News host Maria Bartiromo acknowledged the potential economic fallout from the tariffs, warning that they could lead to price increases and even recession if sustained long-term, citing forecasts from economist Nancy Lazar. Despite a brief market rally following Bartiromo's comments, concerns remain as indices have seen significant declines over the past month due to tariff announcements. Critics argue that the tariffs pose serious risks to American consumers and the economy as a whole.
