Trump tweets, Kudlow talks

Here's a quick roundup of the latest:

Meanwhile, Larry Kudlow continued to do the media rounds.

  • "We're not gonna end up in a trade war"
  • Says he would support tariffs if negotiations fail

I don't think any of this changes the sentiment in markets. Over time, it will improve if there's less talk and rhetoric but if they're going to say anything, this is sort of thing is probably fine: it's not inflammatory and it's clear the US just wants to negotiate.
