Elon Musk has distanced himself from the White House’s stance on global tariffs, just days after Donald Trump’s controversial ‘Liberation Day’ move.
Last week, President Trump announced a huge and wide ranging set of tariffs on all of the USA’s trading partners, seeing goods from foreign nations taxed anywhere from 10 per cent to 54 per cent, in an attempt to encourage citizens to buy American-made products.
To the surprise of no one, the move has been widely unpopular outside of the States, with several of America’s trading partners no imposing retaliatory tariffs of their own.
However, those closest to Trump are still holding the line that tariffs will be beneficial to the US, with one notable exception.
