White House dismisses rumor that led markets to jump: ‘Fake News
By: The Hill, April 7, 2025:
The White House pushed back on the idea that President Trump is considering a 90-day pause on tariffs as “fake news” after it spread on social media and caused the stock market to jump.
“Wrong. Fake News,” the White House said on X, sharing a post that Trump is reportedly expecting to do a pause.
A White House official also told The Hill “fake news” when asked about the reports.
The social media action began when a user on X, Walter Bloomberg, posted that Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, said Trump is considering a 90-day pause on all countries except China. The post caused major moves on the stock market, with a surge followed by a plunge within seconds.
The report appeared to be an incorrect interpretation of a Hassett interview on Fox News earlier that day. Before markets opened, Hassett was asked if Trump would consider doing a 90-day pause, and he punted on the question.
“I think the president is going to decide what the president is going to decide,” Hassett said.
