Hassett used "Yep" to answer whether Trump would consider suspending tariffs for 90 days, which was misunderstood by the market

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Hassett, director of the National Economic Council of the United States, was interviewed by Fox News. The host Jimmy asked Trump whether he would consider suspending tariffs for 90 days. Hassett said the interjection "Yep" before answering, and then said: "I think the president will make his decision... Even if you think there will be some negative impact on trade, it will only account for a small part of GDP." Financial blog Zero Hedge explained that the market seemed to have misunderstood Yep as meaning agreement, but his Yep was just to show that he heard the question clearly. (Jinshi)
