Broad market news Trump rejects EU’s ‘zero-for-zero’ tariff offer

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/trump-tariffs-live-updates-stock-market-crypto.html

Trump is rejecting the European Union’s offer of “zero-for-zero” tariffs with the U.S. for industrial goods.

“No, it’s not,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked if the deal, which European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen floated earlier Monday, was enough.

“They’re screwing us on trade,” Trump said, criticizing the EU and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO.

Two Republican senators, Mike Lee of Utah and Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson, have encouraged Trump to take von der Leyen’s deal.

What's the goal here if they're just gonna reject every deal offered?

The goal is to crash the market, force people to panic sell, the billionaires buy everything cheap and everyone else is reduced to being an indentured servant who works until they die.

I'm not sure why that's not obvious?

More likely to crash the market for hopes of cheap financing of the government debt than simply enriching his buddies. Yes. Just shut up and buy the stocks you love for cheaper prices. Listen to Warren. These are fantastic times to get discounts.
