Karoline Leavitt is fiercely defending tariffs implemented by Donald Trump as the odds of a global recession skyrocket.
‘To anyone on Wall Street this morning, I would say trust in President Trump,’ she said on CNN.
‘This is a president who is doubling down on his proven economic formula from his first term… this is indeed a national emergency… and it’s about time we have a president who actually does something about it.’
