Pres. Trump is speaking and says:
- There is a 50-50 chance of a deal with the EU
- I got the impression that Powell may be ready to lower rates
- Most trade deals will be done by August 1
- We have the confines of a deal with China
- On Canada, could just be a tariff, not a negotiation.
- Some of the deals will be done by letter
- Powell told me the economy is doing well.
- Can't talk about a pardon for Ghilaine Maxwell
The Fed earlier today released a statement saying they appreciated the visit from the president (in so many words). Pres. Trump has also seemed to have dialed down his criticism after the meeting.
Other comments:
- On the US dollar, Iwill never say I want a weak currency
- On Hamas, I think they are going to be "hunted down"
