sophie: that is the perception here.iven what you say, victims, some might say bargaining, and he needs to bolster his view because he has many opponents even in his own party. trump is obsessed with anything that concerns the trade balance, trade deficit the source of all evil and problems. he is a protectionist. they complain about the united states trade deficit, but forget about the surplus of foreign investment capital or trade, the trade surplus. trade is not a one-way street where one country loses and another wins. economists for once agree that these tariffs are going to hurt american businesses and consumers, and i would hurt the economy and gdp rose as well. javier: that would be a problem where you are. how did the market close and where is next week looking? sophie: this week it was all about trade. at the same time it was not. it can be confusing what the markets are making out a potentially consequential news. investors have simply been good in creating their own bio opportunities. there are concerns that
