SUMMARY: Stocks initially rallied on April 8 before giving up gains due to uncertainty surrounding President Trump’s tariffs. The White House remains firm despite market fluctuations and growing scrutiny. A week after new tariffs were imposed, the administration insists on addressing unfair trade practices. While some countries seek trade negotiations, China missed Trump’s deadline to remove retaliatory tariffs, prompting a threat of 104% tariffs. Tensions arise as critics, including Democrats, warn of economic collapse, and a spat between Elon Musk and trade adviser Peter Navarro heats up. Despite this, the administration maintains confidence in its strategy.
