CBS: U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trump Once Had Heated Debate on Tariff Policy

2025.04.16 12:40:33

On April 16th, CBS News, citing multiple sources, stated that although the White House has been attempting to claim that Trump administration officials have been unified on U.S. tariff policy, internal differences over the policy had emerged weeks prior to Trump signing the so-called "reciprocal tariff" executive order on April 2nd. A senior Trump adviser was reported to have warned in private conversations that some tariff proposals could have a catastrophic impact on global financial markets and send the U.S. economy into a downward spiral. CBS reported that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett and Trump's trade and manufacturing policy adviser Peter Navarro had a confrontation in late March in the office of White House Chief of Staff Susan Wells. According to multiple sources, Navarro advocated for a uniform 25% tariff on $3 trillion worth of imported goods, while Bennett, a former Wall Street investor, warned that this move would trigger market turmoil and outlined various risk scenarios. The report said that there was constantly heated rhetoric being exchanged.

Post-Trump Meeting: A Roundup of Top AI Leaders – Musk Calm and in Sync, Anthropic Co-Founders Tense and Awkward

12:30 p.m. ET yesterday, Donald Trump hosted a lunch at the White House with executives from multiple artificial intelligence firms. Attendees included Jensen Huang, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, and Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei, among others. After the lunch, Trump and a group of U.S. AI giants took impromptu questions from reporters. When asked about "AI displacing jobs", Trump called on Musk to respond. Musk blurted out "AI" out of habit before quickly correcting to "SI"—a detail that caught Trump’s attention, prompting the president to thank him repeatedly. Musk then stated that robots and superintelligence can bring significant improvements to humanity in fields like healthcare, and while future job markets and work tasks will undergo major changes due to AI, "the overall demand for humans remains very high". Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei revisited his earlier call for "slowing AI development"—a stance that conflicts with Trump’s views—saying AI has enormous benefits but carries real technological risks, and how to address them is still under discussion. He again emphasized: "We need to work together to ensure we win safely". During the interview, the broader tech community generally viewed Amodei as overly nervous compared to Musk’s calm response. When introducing Amodei to reporters, Trump remarked, "Dario is great, whatever he says is okay". Amodei responded with an exaggerated, forced laugh, then awkwardly dropped his smile, bowed his head and said nothing, creating an awkward moment.
