White House Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett: Uncertainty Until April 2 3/17/25
Episode description
The US markets are still searching for solid footing, as President Trump’s tariff agenda unfolds. The President’s economic advisor Kevin Hassett explains that April 2nd will bring the certainty and clarity that investors are hoping for. Elon Musk’s work on DOGE in Washington, DC has split his time between government efficiency and leading Tesla, SpaceX, X, and Neuralink. The Wall Street Journal’s Tim Higgins considers whether Musk’s presence in DC is putting a dent in investor confidence in Tesla, as the company’s stock price feels the pressure. Plus, a government shutdown averted, two astronauts one step closer to Earth, and the public’s view on the economy, under President Trump. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
