SEAN HANNITY: Inflation is down significantly. I know the markets are skittish. I know they're freak -- everyone's freaking out. It's sort of like how they were freaking out over Zelensky in the meeting in the Oval Office, and I kept saying they'll be back.
I'm telling you this issue of tariffs is going to be resolved. You know, the EU is planning to impose a 50% tariff on American whiskey. Good luck with that.
You know, the problem is, you know, like Germany sells eight German cars to our one car in Germany because of their 10% tariff and then their value added tax or national sales tax, which makes it financially impossible.
And if we sell "x" number of dairy products -- various dairy products, eggs, cheese, whatever, poultry products -- to Canada, you know, after you sell a certain amount at a 5% tariff rate, then they go to 250%. And it's not free and fair trade.
And, you know, the fact that the markets don't understand that Donald Trump is in the middle of a negotiation here is kind of hard to comprehend that they have no curiosity about what the thinking of Donald Trump is in this. The thinking is to get them to the table and to either choose free or fair trade or reciprocal tariffs. And that's what it is.
