During a press conference in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump said his trade tariffs have helped end “most” of the seven wars he claims to have solved since returning to office. “Without tariffs, you’d have wars raging all over the world,” he declared.
Trump explained that his tough import taxes — which critics call a “tax on Americans” — are, in his view, a tool for peace. He even claimed that when two nations threatened to go to war, he warned them: “If you go to war, I’ll put a 200% tariff and block your business in the U.S.” According to Trump, “within 24 hours, the war ended.”
Supporters see his words as proof of strength. Critics say it’s just another tall tale. But one thing is certain — Trump’s confidence hasn’t wavered.
Love him or not, he’s reshaping what “power” means in today’s world. 🌍
Do you believe tariffs can really stop wars — or is this just political theater?
