From power player to pariah? It's just been over 5 weeks and Donald Trump seems to be losing support from U.S business leaders; here's why
Growing concerns in corporate America
According to Semafor, CEO optimism is starting to fade as Trump moves forward with trade restrictions, and the business-friendly deregulation many had hoped for still hasn't come to fruition. Business leaders are growing concerned as policies they once expected to ease burdens have yet to take shape, leaving them uncertain about the future.
The world's top business executives, such as Citadel's Ken Griffin, ON Semiconductor's Hassane El-Khoury, Franklin Templeton's Jenny Johnson, and Nasdaq Private Market's Tom Callahanhave spoke about their discomfort with the economic environment under Trump, reported Semafor.
The tariff tug-of-war
The proposed tariffs of 25% on Europe and 10% on China have only added to this uncertainty, as per the report. El-Khoury said in an interview, “What decision do you make? Do you want to go left or right?” as quoted by Semafor. He also mentioned, “Are we going to grow the business? Well, I don’t know. Are there tariffs or not?" as quoted in the report.
The stock market's slump
Even the US stock market faltered, it's lagging behind leading world indexes in Europe, China, and Mexico, which are targets of the president’s planned tariffs, reported Semafor. Griffin claimed that it is «a difficult time to invest,” as quoted in the report.
