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.

Trader 'Loracle' Fingers Top Short AI New Star CBRS, Profits Nearly $2 Million, Partially Takes Profits

May 18 update: Per Coinbob’s Telegram-based Popular Address Tracker, leading Hyperliquid trader “Loracle” pulled in nearly $2 million in gains by shorting CBRS (Cerebras)—marketed as “NVIDIA’s strongest AI challenger”—during the latest market sell-off. Starting yesterday morning, Loracle has been systematically taking profits on this CBRS short: his position size has dropped from $11.3 million to $6.47 million, with an unrealized profit of $1.52 million (a 40% return).

He’s now locking in partial profits here too, trimming the position to $5.1 million, with an unrealized gain of $0.85 million (a 57% return). As of press time, both short positions on these two U.S. stocks are stil

Rare Accuracy! Tom Lee's New Year Script "Wash Up, Market Down" Has Been Half Fulfilled

Federal Reserve Chair Powell’s term officially concluded on May 15. A day prior, the U.S. Senate confirmed Wash’s nomination as Fed Chair by a narrow 54-45 vote. What stands out most: On Wash’s first day in office, the mid-term upward trends of both the U.S. stock market and Bitcoin hit a synchronized stop. The S&P 500 index, which peaked at 7501 on May 14, immediately pulled back afterward. Bitcoin, meanwhile, couldn’t break through the $82,000 mark on May 15 and reversed direction, experiencing several sharp declines in recent days—currently trading just barely above $77,000. Though Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine, has been mocked for his repeated "brain-dead bullish" calls on cryptocurrency since taking his post, this so-called "Wall Street Oracle" has already seen half of his forecast come true. On January 8 this year, Lee told CNBC in an interview that 2026 would be a year of "joy, depression, and rally," similar to 2025. He noted the market would at times feel like it’s tipping in

The BTC Whale Who Bought the Dip on October 11th is Still Holding Strong, Facing a 12x Unrealized Loss Compared to Initial Investment

May 18: Per monitoring from Hyperinsight (via Telegram channel @HyperInsight), address 0x860 has emerged as the largest underwater whale holding BTC long positions on Hyperliquid. This whale entered a BTC long position at the bottom 220 days ago — specifically on October 11 last year — following the market crash, with 29x leverage, at an average entry price of $109,632, and a total position size of $13.2 million. Initially, this long position generated substantial unrealized gains for the whale within 10 days. However, after BTC dropped below its average entry price on October 30 last year, the position never returned to break-even. As of press time, the whale still hasn’t closed the position and remains holding on, with the current unrealized loss standing at $3.94 million — roughly 12 times the initial investment. Estimates show that given the address’s multimillion-dollar total fund size, the $13.2 million position translates to an actual leverage ratio of about 1.1x. But the unr
