Trump's Greenland Threat Sparks Geopolitical Concerns and Boosts Safe-Haven Assets

President Trump's threats to control Greenland, potentially through military means, have sparked geopolitical concerns among investors. The move is seen as more credible following recent U.S. military action in Venezuela and is part of a series of disruptive statements. Fears that this could destabilize NATO and the global order have boosted safe-haven assets like gold and European defense stocks. This occurs alongside escalating attacks by the Trump administration on the Federal Reserve's independence, which have already caused the dollar and U.S. futures to fall, while gold has hit new highs.

Trump Warns of Massive Debt and Fiscal Burden if Tariffs Ruled Invalid

President Trump has warned that if the Supreme Court invalidates US tariffs, it would trigger hundreds of billions, or even trillions, of dollars in debt repayments, creating an unbearable fiscal burden and a "national security disaster" for the country. This comes as the court is expected to rule on the legality of tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Estimates suggest importers could claim up to $150 billion in refunds if the tariffs are overturned. However, the Treasury Secretary has stated the administration has alternative legal authorities to maintain tariffs even if they lose the case.

Trump Asks Credit Card Companies to Cap Rates at 10%

President Trump has called for credit card companies to cap interest rates at 10% for one year, starting from January 20th, his inauguration anniversary. He claims that current rates, some as high as 28-30%, are exploitative and that failure to comply would be illegal, despite the proposal lacking legislative support. The move is seen as an attempt to address voter concerns about living costs ahead of midterm elections. While it could save consumers an estimated $100 billion annually, the banking industry warns it would destroy risk-pricing models, leading to a credit crunch for higher-risk customers and putting pressure on bank stocks. This follows a pattern of Trump pressuring the Federal Reserve for lower interest rates.
