Trump blames ‘globalists’ for stock market sell-off: ‘There’ll always be short-term interruptions’

Trump blames ‘globalists’ for stock market sell-off: ‘There’ll always be short-term interruptions’

US stock markets witnessed sharp declines this week as investors reacted to uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump’s shifting tariff policies.

While analysts debated the impact of trade restrictions, Trump attributed the sell-off to ‘globalists,’ a term he has frequently used to describe individuals, corporations, and nations that he believes undermine American economic interests.

Speaking in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump dismissed concerns that his tariffs were responsible for the market downturn.

Instead, he claimed that ‘globalist’ forces were resisting his administration’s efforts to reclaim economic power, though he did not specify what those efforts entailed.

His comments have reignited discussions about his broader economic agenda, which prioritises protectionist policies over international economic cooperation.

Tariffs not to blame, says Trump

Despite concerns from economists and investors that the market slide was linked to trade uncertainties, Trump insisted that his administration’s recent moves—including imposing a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico before granting temporary exemptions—had nothing to do with the financial turmoil.

He maintained that his trade policies were designed to restore economic fairness and that any disruptions were temporary.

“There’ll always be a little short-term interruption,” Trump said, suggesting that markets might experience fluctuations but would stabilise as his policies took effect.

His repeated dismissal of market concerns highlights his administration’s broader stance that prioritises long-term economic restructuring over short-term investor sentiment.

Trump’s economic nationalism

Trump has frequently used the term ‘globalist’ throughout his presidency, framing it as an opposition to his economic nationalism.

While the exact meaning of the term remains vague, he has used it to describe multinational corporations, political opponents, and international economic alliances that he believes weaken American industry.

During his remarks, Trump referenced ‘globalist countries and companies that won’t be doing as well,’ linking them to the market’s struggles without elaborating further.

The term has also been criticised for its potential connections to conspiracy theories, particularly those with antisemitic undertones.

Groups such as the American Jewish Committee have noted that ‘globalist’ is often used as a coded term in such narratives.

Trump has continued to employ the phrase as part of his broader economic rhetoric, positioning himself against what he describes as a global economic system that disadvantages the US.

White House silent on policy impact

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for further clarification regarding Trump’s comments.

However, reports indicate that his administration is considering overhauling its approach to economic partnerships, particularly in relation to NATO allies and global trade agreements.

While Trump has repeatedly stated that his policies aim to benefit American workers, uncertainty remains over the potential consequences for markets and international relations.

Even as markets reacted to shifting trade policies, Trump maintained that the stock market was not his primary focus. “I’m not even looking at the market,” he said, reinforcing his stance that economic restructuring takes precedence over day-to-day fluctuations.

Despite this assertion, investors continue to weigh the impact of ongoing tariff negotiations and broader policy shifts on market stability.
