As the news of Trump's announcement to suspend tariffs was released, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer was testifying before Congress. He told lawmakers that he had just learned about the discussion of the suspension a few minutes earlier.
Democratic Congressman Horsford criticized Greer, saying that the president's actions were "manipulating the market" and benefiting billionaire investors: "Who is in charge here? Because it doesn't seem like you are truly representing trade." Greer denied that Trump was manipulating the market.
White House spokesperson Kush Desai responded: "The president has the responsibility to calm the markets and Americans' concerns about the economy when the media continues to create panic. Democrats should not attack President Trump based on speculation but instead work with the administration to make America great again."
