Trump rejects pleas from business for more clarity on tariffs: ‘They always say that’ Published Mon, Mar 10 20258:43 AM EDTUpdated 2 Hours Ago thumbnail Christina Wilkie @in/christina-wilkie-6004564/ @christinawilkie thumbnail Kevin Breuninger @KevinWilliamB Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via Email Key Points President Donald Trump has shrugged off appeals from the business community for greater clarity on tariffs, saying they have plenty already. Trump’s tariffs and the broader strength of the U.S. economy are front and center this week as a slew of new economic data is released. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says the U.S. central bank is “well positioned to wait for greater clarity” on Trump’s policies.
President Donald Trump has dismissed the growing chorus of CEOs, investors and policymakers who are pleading with the White House for greater clarity about his sweeping tariff agenda.
“They always say that. ‘We want clarity,’” Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired Sunday.
“They have plenty of clarity,” the president told “Sunday Morning Futures” host Maria Bartiromo.
Appeals to the White House from the business community to provide more concrete guidance, Trump said, are little more than talking points. “They just use that — like almost a sound bite.”
Pressed by Bartiromo on whether there would be “clarity for the business community,” Trump’s reply was telling.
“I think so, but you know, the tariffs could go up as time goes by, and they may go up, and you know, I don’t know if it’s predictability.”
Bartiromo interjected: “That’s not clarity.”
Hours after the full interview aired, the start of a new week of tariff-fueled fears and heightened economic uncertainty sent futures lower Sunday evening.
Stocks were set to tumble further when markets opened Monday. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down nearly 500 points, or 1.2%, on Monday morning, while S&P 500 futures fell 1.4% and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 1.6%.
The comments capped off a week marked by unpredictability about both Trump’s tariffs and the broader strength of the U.S. economy.
The S&P 500 fell 3.10%, for its worst weekly mark since September. The Dow fell 2.37%, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 3.45%.
At the center of the storm were Trump’s stiff 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, which were initially paused for a month, then restarted Tuesday, only to be reined in Wednesday and then partially paused for another month on Thursday.
