Fox News Confirms Trump’s Tariff Capitulation Amidst Market Manipulation Accusations
President Trump unexpectedly reversed course on his reciprocal tariffs, a move attributed by Fox Business senior correspondent Charlie Gasparino to a significant jump in the 10-year Treasury yield, reaching 4.50 percent. Gasparino claims the White House capitulated due to pressure from the bond market, specifically citing Japan’s bond dumping fueled by concerns over the business climate. Despite no concrete trade deals, Trump framed the tariff pause as a victory. This reversal led to substantial gains in major stock market indices, including the Dow Jones and Nasdaq, erasing earlier losses driven by trade war anxieties.
