As markets react sharply to President Trump’s 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum, Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner weighs in on the escalating market turmoil and the broader implications of Trump’s trade policies. Amid these developments, CNBC’s Eunice Youn reports from Beijing on talks between China’s Ministry of Commerce and Walmart, which is seeking price reductions from Chinese suppliers to mitigate tariff impacts. Plus, CNBC’s Eamon Javers delivers insights on Trump FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson’s recent remarks to CEOs, emphasizing that while he won’t allow mergers to falter unnecessarily, automatic approvals for significant mergers aren’t guaranteed. Eamon Javers - 09:14Eunice Yoon - 16:13Brad Gerstner - 22:51 Eunice Yoon, @onlyyoontvEamon Javers, @EamonJaversBrad Gerstner, @altcapBecky Quick, @BeckyQuickJoe Kernen, @JoeSquawkAndrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkinKatie Kramer, @Kramer_Katie Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
