00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:30The host of MSNBC, Lula, revealed in a program that
00:34in fact, Bissett is not the main driver of the U.S. tariff decision.
00:39He is just in the White House meeting
00:41responsible for explaining the potential situation of the market and economy
00:44under different tariff levels
00:47and cannot play a major role in the tariff decision.
00:50The host of this program also revealed
00:52that Trump's disastrous tariff policy
00:55has damaged Bissett's reputation in the financial industry.
00:59Therefore, Bissett is looking for a way out
01:02and wants to resign and leave the White House
01:04to find an opportunity to work for the Fed.
01:07In addition, the U.S. media pointed out
01:09that Trump's tariff policy is mainly shaped by a small circle.
01:13The members of the circle include
01:15the White House chief trade adviser Navarro
01:17and the Minister of Commerce, Rutnick,
01:19and Musk, who rarely comments on tariff policies.
01:23Recently, he has rarely expressed his opposition.
01:27A netizen shared a clip of Navarro explaining the tariff policy in CNN.
01:33Navarro believes that he has a Ph.D. degree in economics from Harvard University
01:37and therefore has a rich experience in tariffs.
01:40To this, Musk replied
01:42that it is not a good thing to criticize having a Ph.D. degree in economics from Harvard
01:47and also implied that such a high degree will lead to self-inflation.
01:51Musk later agreed with another netizen's quote
01:55that every disaster in U.S. history
01:57always includes someone from Harvard.
02:01In addition to praising Trump's tariff policies,
02:03Musk also suddenly opposed trade barriers
02:06and called on the U.S. and Europe to establish a zero-tariff trade zone.
02:09This is a sharp difference from Trump's tariff policy.
02:15U.S. President-elect Musk said yesterday
02:17during a video call at the Italian Parliament
02:20that although the U.S. is collecting equal tariffs from many countries around the world,
02:24he believes that the U.S. should reach a zero-tax agreement with Europe
02:28to establish a free trade zone across the Atlantic
02:31and reach a close relationship with Europe.
02:33Musk believes that this policy will help create more job opportunities
02:37so that people can work freely between Europe and North America.
02:41I hope it is agreed that both Europe and the United States
02:45should move ideally in my view to a zero-tariff situation,
02:49effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America
02:53and also more freedom of people to move between Europe and North America,
02:57if they wish.
02:59So that has certainly been my advice to the President.
03:02Hands up for the right!
03:05Many regions have also started a wave of demonstrations
03:08because of Trump's high tariffs on goods from various countries.
03:12Yesterday, a large number of demonstrators
03:14gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, Germany
03:16and raised their hands to demonstrate in unison.
03:18Some even wrote their dissatisfaction on U.S. flags
03:21or shouted protest slogans with U.S. flags.
03:25Hey! Ho! Ho!
03:27Elon Musk has got to go!
03:29At the same time, a large number of demonstrators
03:31also appeared in London, England
03:33calling for Musk and Trump to stop the destruction.
03:36Some even dressed up as the goddess of freedom
03:38and raised the statue of Trump.
03:40Protests have become enemies of freedom and democracy.
