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.

Analysis: Bitcoin has traded below the cost basis of short-term holders for 8 consecutive months, with an average unrealized loss of 14.4%.

According to a post by analyst Darkfost, the realized price of Bitcoin’s Short-Term Holders (STH) is currently around $74,800, and BTC has traded below this cost level for eight consecutive months, leaving most short-term holders under unrealized loss pressure. The average unrealized loss for STHs is now roughly 14.4%, a notable improvement from the over 34% unrealized loss level seen in February this year. Notably, the STH cost basis has dropped from $95,700 to $74,800, indicating that some short-term holders continued accumulating BTC during the downturn, pulling down the overall average holding cost. During this cycle, STH unrealized profits hit a peak of 47% in March 2024, but stood at just 11% when BTC set its all-time high in October 2025, reflecting that the market’s profit-taking level is significantly weaker than in prior phases. The $74,800 STH cost level remains a key resistance point for BTC. If Bitcoin can reclaim this level, it could signal a positive shift in market structure; until then, this zone is likely to act as a sell-pressure area for short-term holders looking to break even.
