Speaker 3: John.
Speaker 4: The drop in stocks we're seeing around the world comes
Speaker 4: ahead of President Donald Trump's planned announcement of tariffs on Wednesday.
Speaker 4: White House officials had insisted earlier this month the levies
Speaker 4: would be more targeted, with some nations being excluded, but
Speaker 4: on Air Force One last night, the President pushed back
Speaker 4: on that idea.
Speaker 5: You'd start with all countries, so let's see what happens.
Speaker 5: There are many countries. I haven't heard a rumor about
Speaker 5: fifteen countries, ten.
Speaker 4: Or fifteen those countries.
Speaker 5: Essentially all of the countries that we're talking about wouldn't
Speaker 5: be talking about all countries and.
Speaker 3: Not a cutoff.
Speaker 4: President Trump's indicated the plan will go beyond matching tariffs
Speaker 4: that other countries slap on US imports to include things
Speaker 4: like value added taxes and regulations. At the White how
Speaker 4: caes is unfair.
Speaker 2: And President Trump also threatening secondary terraces on buyers of
Speaker 2: Russian oil if Vladimir Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire
Speaker 2: with Ukraine. In an interview with NBC News, the President
Speaker 2: said he was very angry with Putin for questioning Ukrainian
Speaker 2: President Filadimir Zelenski as a negotiating partner, but he's softened
Speaker 2: his tone with Putin on Air Force One.
Speaker 5: I don't think he's going to go back in this squad.
Speaker 5: I've known him for a long time. We've always gotten
Speaker 5: along well. He considered Zliski not credible. He's supposed to
Speaker 5: be making a deal with him, whether you like him,
Speaker 5: where you don't like him, So I wasn't.
Speaker 3: Happy with that.
Speaker 2: At the same time, President Trump pressuring Zelenski to agree

Speaker 2: backs out of the Rare Earth's deal, he's got quote big,
Speaker 2: big problems and John.
Speaker 4: President Trump's push for a ceasefire in Ukraine's drawing praise
Speaker 4: from his allies on Capitol Hill. Republican Senator Mark Wayne
Speaker 4: Mullen reacted on NBC's Meet the Press.
Speaker 6: President Trump makes very clear where his positions are on
Speaker 6: all situations, but he's wanted to go through diplomacy first
Speaker 6: before anything else takes place. So him having a friendship
Speaker 6: or trying to have a relationship with Russia before this
Speaker 6: goes to this place was a right move. Now he's
Speaker 6: saying he's done.
Speaker 4: That was Republican Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma on
Speaker 4: NBC's Meet the Press, which you can hear every Sunday
Speaker 4: on Bloomberg Radio.
Speaker 2: And President Trump also were refusing to rule out running
Speaker 2: for a third term. He told the NBC there are
Speaker 2: methods that would allow him to rug in. When I
Speaker 2: asked about it on Air Force One, the President had
Speaker 2: this to say, you want to talk about.
Speaker 5: It, I'm just telling you I have had more people
Speaker 5: say please run again. I said, we have a long
Speaker 5: way to go before we even think about that.
Speaker 2: The twenty second Amendment to the Constitution limits presidents to
Speaker 2: just two terms. It was an act at after Franklin
Speaker 2: Delano Roosevelt was elected to a fourth term in nineteen
Speaker 2: forty four.
Speaker 4: Turned back to markets now, John, As we said, futures
Speaker 4: and stocks around the world are sliding as we begin
Speaker 4: a new trading week. In Japan, the nik correction territory,
Speaker 4: and as you mentioned, gold once again is trading at
Speaker 4: a record heading into today's session, the S and P
Speaker 4: five hundred is down more than five percent. That's in
Speaker 4: contrast to stocks in Europe. They are higher by twelve
Speaker 4: percent for the quarter. Bloomberg Intelligence Diructor of Equity Research,
Speaker 4: Tim craighead has more on the divergence.

Speaker 7: in the US outperforming basically everything, this has been a
Speaker 7: three month period where we've had deep seek meet a
Speaker 7: German bazouka in terms of spending, meets Donald Trump tariffs,
Speaker 7: and it's those three factors that have turned tech on
Speaker 7: its head, have ignited optimism that we're not going to
Speaker 7: let this crisis in Europe go to waste, and we're
Speaker 7: actually going to get some collaboration and integration and movement.
Speaker 4: That's Tim Craig of Bloomberg Intelligence. The risk of tarifflink
Speaker 4: damage has propelled the S and P five hundred to
Speaker 4: its worst quarter since twenty twenty two, wiping five trillion
Speaker 4: dollars off its value from a record high in.
Speaker 2: February, and Nathan Goldman Sachs is cutting its S and
Speaker 2: P five hundred target for a second time this month.
Speaker 2: They're citing higher recession risk and towerf related to uncertainty.
Speaker 2: The team, led by David Costin now sees the benchmark
Speaker 2: to ending the year around five seven hundred points versus
Speaker 2: their previous estimate of sixty two hundred. The new target
Speaker 2: implies gains of just two percent from Friday's clothes. It's

Speaker 4: job as head of President Trump's effort to cut the
Speaker 4: size of government is having an impact.
Speaker 8: It's costing me a lot to be in this job.

Speaker 8: and I has I guess to to you know, I
Speaker 8: don't stop doing this. Well, you know, my Tesla stock

Speaker 1: Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius Exam
Speaker 1: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business app. This is Bloomberg Day Break.
Speaker 4: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. With two days to go
Speaker 4: until President Trump's promised Liberation Day of reciprocal tariffs, he
Speaker 4: is now saying all countries need to be unnoticed, tamping
Speaker 4: down some of the speculation that the tariffs WI announced
Speaker 4: on April second could be limited in scope.
Speaker 5: They ripped us off like no countries ever been ripped
Speaker 5: off in history, and we're going to be much nicer
Speaker 5: than they were to us. But it's substantial money for
Speaker 5: the country, NEVERTHELEDS.
Speaker 4: And that was the President speaking of Board Air Force
Speaker 4: one last night. For the very latest, we are joined
Speaker 4: by Bloomberg's Kevin Whitelaw. Kevin, of course, there has been
Speaker 4: so much messaging around whatever the President is going to
Speaker 4: announce on Wednesday, This talk from Treasury Secretary Scott Besson
Speaker 4: that there might be a focus on what he's called
Speaker 4: the Dirty fifteen. Now it seems the President is kind
Speaker 4: of walking even that back a little bit. Good morning,
Speaker 4: Good morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Obviously, this is something where I think there are two
Speaker 11: different dynamics going on. One is there is a tussle
Speaker 11: within the administration itself over exactly how to proceed. There's
Speaker 11: a clamp within the Trump orbit that wants to go
Speaker 11: super hard, super big on tariffs, and then there are
Speaker 11: others that are very worried about the market impacts and
Speaker 11: want to do a more gradual and incremental kind of approach. Obviously,
Speaker 11: Trump's instincts seem to be to go big, but you know,
Speaker 11: look until we actually see it, until we understand it,
Speaker 11: until we see the numbers and exclusions and everything else,
Speaker 11: you know, we're not going to really know. I think
Speaker 11: the other dynamic is, frankly, the market just wants to
Speaker 11: believe it isn't going to be too big, and so
Speaker 11: I do think there's just a sort of a sense
Speaker 11: of people out there that just want to believe that
Speaker 11: this isn't going to be as dramatic and disruptive a
Speaker 11: shift as Trump seems to be promising.
Speaker 4: How much is the president watching the market reaction based
Speaker 4: on what he's been saying in his public commentary, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't think we.
Speaker 11: Know for sure, but we do know that he does
Speaker 11: frequently gauge you know, his you know, sort of his
Speaker 11: the market does matter to him as a benchmark, and
Speaker 11: there are times where he's very concerned about it. So
Speaker 11: you know, you could see something where if so, if
Speaker 11: he goes big in the market really really does tank,
Speaker 11: he could end up adjusting it. I mean, keep in mind,
Speaker 11: we have seen this before. He announces big things, he
Speaker 11: does big things and then walks them back and adds
Speaker 11: exclusions and everything else, or you know, does a temporary
Speaker 11: suspension or so you know. Again, I think there are
Speaker 11: still a set of people that are hoping this is
Speaker 11: a negotiation or are hoping that if there really is
Speaker 11: a big negative reaction that Trump will recalibrate. Both of
Speaker 11: those things are possible. But you know, Trump has shown
Speaker 11: that he's really does seem to believe broadly and deeply
Speaker 11: in the idea of tariffs, and you know, he could
Speaker 11: be trying to do something that's sort of a longer
Speaker 11: term shift than I think maybe the market is fully
Speaker 11: prepared for.
Speaker 4: And does that idea that the president sees tariffs as
Speaker 4: a negotiating tactic play into some of the comments that
Speaker 4: we've been hearing from him around the Russia Ukraine ceasefire,
Speaker 4: talking about secondary tariffs on Russian oil buyers if Vladimir
Speaker 4: Putin doesn't come to a deal with Vladimir's Lenska.
Speaker 11: Well, you know, it is interesting you are getting a
Speaker 11: sense that that suddenly his frustration is building with Moscow
Speaker 11: in a way we really haven't seen that much yet.
Speaker 11: Most of his ire up to now has been directed
Speaker 11: towards towards Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky. But this time, you know,
Speaker 11: he's I think feeling tested by by Putin, and I
Speaker 11: think he's realizing that that his ambitions of a quick
Speaker 11: cease fire i e. You know, in the next few
Speaker 11: weeks are slipping away. Is as Putin just doesn't seem
Speaker 11: to be all that interested in it. And obviously I
Speaker 11: think that a lot of other people watching this say that,
Speaker 11: you know, the the you know, Trump has done so
Speaker 11: many things that essentially encourage Putin to take a hard
Speaker 11: line that it is going to be very difficult for
Speaker 11: him to move him off of that.
Speaker 4: And in our last minute, Kevin, what's the political consequence
Speaker 4: potentially of some of this latest commentary from President Trump
Speaker 4: that he's not ruling out the idea of seeking out
Speaker 4: a third term, which in the the least the twenty
Speaker 4: second Amendment of the Constitution seems to be a non starter.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think the Constitution is really quite clear on this,
Speaker 11: and I think everyone has gone back at various points
Speaker 11: in the past couple of months to look at it
Speaker 11: to understand it. So it's very, very hard to understand
Speaker 11: what he's saying, other than you know, perhaps the constitutional amendment,
Speaker 11: which you know is clearly not going to happen. That
Speaker 11: is something Democrats have the easy ability to block and
Speaker 11: the Congress, let alone in the States, So it's not
Speaker 11: you know, I don't think he's ever explained what he's
Speaker 11: meant by this. He has toyed with this before, and
Speaker 11: you know, I don't think we know. It's hard to
Speaker 11: tell whether he's just enjoying sort of gaslighting the news
Speaker 11: media and Democrats on this one, or if there's something
Speaker 11: that he just hasn't explained anybody.
