Well, well looks like the weak and ineffectual Motherfucker Krasnov is going to fold on the Chinese tariffs [View all]
Now the flaccid fat man is both Putin's and Xi's leetle beyotch.
Markets are soaring on Tuesday after Bloomberg reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told investors he expects the tariff standoff with China to de-escalate as the current situation is not sustainable.
Speaking at a closed-door investor summit hosted by JPMorgan Chase in Washington, Bessent said that negotiations haven't started but a deal is possible. Markets, which were already up during the session, continue to climb as a result. The S&P 500 is up more than 2.6%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 jumps over 3.3%.
