AI, TikTok, and the Future of Connectivity

Just days after the White House shut down rumors of a potential pause on tariffs, the world reacts to a swift reversal. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett discusses the market’s reaction to President Trump declaring a 90-day pause on tariffs and how a spike in the bond market possibly changed negotiations. Plus, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sits down in an exclusive interview at the company’s headquarters, saying he believes sellers will pass increased tariffs costs on to consumers. 

Meanwhile, Becky Quick revisited her 2019 conversation with Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger and Bill Gates discussing the then-latest developments in the U.S.-China trade talks and what they thought would benefit all parties involved. Watch the video from that discussion here.
