[Bessent: Tariff Levels May Be Restored by Early July]
According to a report by Jinse Finance, on April 15, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated that the tariff levels imposed during the Trump administration might be restored to their pre-Supreme Court ruling levels by early July. This follows the Supreme Court's decision that Trump's use of emergency powers to impose early tariffs was unconstitutional. Bessent is now seeking to rebuild his 'tariff wall' using different authorizations, such as Section 301 investigations.
Bessent mentioned that while it is difficult to predict when the consequences of the Iraq war might 'spill over' into the U.S. economy, the current economic situation remains strong. He believes that the U.S. growth rate this year can easily exceed 3% or even 3.5%. He also added that the continued decline in core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, is a positive sign.
Bessent stated: 'I think the Federal Reserve has consistently misjudged the inflation issue. Core inflation is declining. If they want to wait for clearer data before taking action, I understand, but that would mean interest rates should be lowered further.' (Jin10)
