Thanks for posting the uncut interview. That’s how it should be.

Bessent is a top, intelligent, grounded polite person. The best one to negotiate tariffs.

Very intelligent guy. I just hope Trump listens to him. More Bessent less Lutnick and Hassett

This lady in the red Is just too good.

After watching the
Fox News quackers.

[Believein]

Bring M. Hordern to US media! What an amazing interview and breath of fresh air!

[TommyTwista]

Great interview. Well done back and forth.

[Complex-Yet-Simple]

There are so many interconnected factors discussed here, from trade policy and central bank actions to international finance like Argentina's situation and the dollar's strength. It's genuinely valuable when these complex global subjects are explored clearly. Gaining insight into how these major economic pieces fit together is incredibly important. Appreciate the discussion shedding light on it all.

[imimpo]

The amount of people mocking him for his stutter and a lack of orator talent is saddening and concerning

[CositaKingdom]

Very detailed analysis of international trade issues.

[perlakig]

He is right that with Korea, Japan, etc countries under de-facto US military occupation, it is much easier to "negotiate" a deal than with countries no US military bases, and especially with China that is actually independent from security perspective.

[EconoFlow]

This was a fantastic breakdown of the current trade dynamics and how crucial the next 90 days are for international agreements

[emiinz]

Despite no jobs and people can no longer afford to live, people will be lining up to live off the government. Acquiring $61k monthly is indeed a blessing.

[santizd]

this woman is on point with the questions.
