GOP senator on market reaction to Trump tariffs: 'What’s happening is not good'

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said Friday the steep drop in markets over President Trump's tariffs is "not good" even as he defended Trump's long-term goal to shore up U.S. production.

"The stock market matters," Kennedy said in a morning interview on Fox News's "The Faulkner Focus," noting that millions of Americans have money in the markets.

“​​What’s happening is not good. Now will it continue? Will we find the bottom, and then it will start to go back up? I hope so,” Kennedy said.
