Trump denies report about changes to tariff plans
Published On Jan 6, 2025, 1:22 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has denied claims that he plans to scale back his proposed tariff policies. Initially, he suggested implementing a 10% or 20% tariff on all imports during his campaign, alongside a more severe 60% tariff on Chinese goods. Recent reports indicated possible changes to his plans, focusing on tariffs related to critical national security sectors. However, Trump labeled these claims as misinformation, maintaining his original tariff proposals.

SPY
Negative
The steadfast position on tariffs reflects a commitment to a protectionist economic strategy, which might boost domestic producers, especially in sectors like defense and critical materials. However, this could also raise prices for consumers and provoke retaliation from trade partners, affecting market stability.
LIT
Positive
Shares in domestic producers of critical materials and defense contractors may see positive movement, given the emphasis on national security-related tariffs. Companies involved in battery manufacturing and electric vehicle supply chains could benefit from these policies.
