Former President Trump threatened a 200% tariff on John Deere on Monday if the company offshores production to Mexico. John Paulson, billionaire investor and adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign, defends the tariff plan, arguing it would create an “American manufacturing powerhouse.” Paulson also responds to concerns about Donald Trump’s character and offers his market outlook, should the former President win a second term. Plus, China will cut the amount of cash banks need to have on hand by 50 basis points, Boeing gives its “best and final offer” to workers on strike, and Meta’s AI chatbot might have a familiar voice.
