President Donald Trump doesn't like his new nickname 'TACO'. Here's why people are calling Trump TACO and the meaning behind the TACO trade acronym
Trump has repeatedly shifted his stance on tariffs since his “Liberation Day” announcement—earning him the nickname “TACO Trump.”
Tariff Man is back again — and so is Wall Street’s TACO trade. President Donald Trump is once more threatening to lob massive duties on a wide swath of US imports, everything from copper and pharmaceuticals to goods from Japan and Russia.
President Donald Trump has again delayed a tariff deadline. His back and forth on the policy spurred TACO accusations. What does it mean?
Markets had dismissed tariff risks under the assumption that Trump would follow an earlier pattern and back off, in what became known as the so-called TACO trade. That allowed stocks to reach new record-high territory recently, marking a stunning rebound from the collapse triggered by his “Liberation Day” reciprocal tariffs in April.
President Donald Trump announced looming tariffs on at least seven countries on Monday as he struggles to lock in new trade agreements with some of the biggest U.S. trading partners. The president first posted a pair of letters to the leaders of both Japan and South Korea on social media which stated they would be slapped with 25 percent tariffs starting on August 1.
President Donald Trump seems willing to spend “financial markets capital” whenever stocks are up, say strategists at GlobalData, TS Lombard.
Trump said that about “10 or 12” tariff letters would go out Friday, with additional letters coming “over the next few days.”
