Summary

Wall Street is in the midst of another rollercoaster week after President Trump enacted wide-ranging tariffs on countries around the world. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio all took to the airwaves to pitch a skeptical public and markets on the plan. Meanwhile, President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office on Monday to discuss the war in Gaza and a potential new trade agreement with the United States. Bret breaks it all down with FOX News Radio Political Correspondent Jared Halpern, Editor-at-Large at The Spectator Ben Domenech, and former State Department Spokeswoman Marie Harf.
