WASHINGTON, April 7 (Reuters) - White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett played down economic concerns over President Donald Trump's tariffs, saying the president has talked to world leaders all weekend and will listen to proposals for great deals. "He's doubling down on something that he knows works, and he's going to continue to do that," Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, said on Fox News. "But he is also going to listen to our trading partners, and if they come to us with really great deals that advantage American manufacturing and American farmers, I'm sure he'll listen."
Trump has been talking to world leaders all weekend, Hassett said. Taiwan reached out overnight, he added, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to the White House on Monday with trade policy and Middle East policy on the agenda. Countries are lining up to make deals, Hassett said. "In President Trump's view is it's these countries that are sending inelastic supply to the country, and so they're going to bear the brunt of the tariffs," Hassett said.

This is what he said,
KILMEADE: Would Trump consider a 90 days pause in tariffs?
HASSETT: I think the president is gonna decide what the president is gonna decide ... even if you think there will be some negative effect from the trade side, that’s still a small share of GDP pic.twitter.com/3KymvgOwQG— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 7, 2025
Keeping the Musk enemy close isn’t working: Time to ease him out of the corridors of political power.
No, Hassett did NOT say that....it's what lefties are trying to push, on social media.

Don't trust (or, post :) Al Reuters ;-)
Would personally get real joy if he placed a 500% tariff on French wines.
“Show me on this doll where the Musk hurt you.”
Yep
You have always hated your mother. Admit it. Its good for your soul.
You don’t need to talk about anything else.
He only increased them to 50 percent what they’re charging us. We’re still on the losing end.
Have you paid attention to what that transhumanist, globalist scum has been saying over the past two days to undermine Trump’s most important initiative?
The pot shots he’s been taking at Trump’s top advisors?
I’m with them on all their hardline positions on this—except pressuring Europe to accept our poisoned food supply.
We need to clean that up, not force other countries to share our poison.
