Comments from Kudlow

These comments aren't helping the stock market

More from Kudlow:

  • Trump-Xi meeting would be 'very formal'

  • Agenda for Trump-Xi meeting is being discussed

Meanwhile Larry Fink is on Reuters saying they're on the path to a full-fledged US-China trade war.

Listening to these comments, they're overly aggressive. That makes me think that the US is using threats because it wants a deal and isn't prepared to go through with the threats. It's a bit over-the-top.
