Comments by US Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin as he speaks to CNBC
- Focus should be on economic growth over tax receipts
- US economic growth is on track and is comfortable
- Trump will only reconsider rejoining TPP on better terms
- Trump will discuss trade with Japan PM Abe later today
- Comfortable that US will make progress sought on TPP
- Trump's tweet on currency devaluation is a warning shot to Russia and China
- Trump wants to make sure China does not devalue its currency as in the past
I would argue that Trump's tweet sort of killed two birds with one stone, as I'm sure it also helped to push forward his own agenda.
