ML-Implode News - Stocks snap 4-day winning streak after report Trump backs tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods

Bloomberg News reported that Trump told aides he supports moving forward with proposed tariffs on an additional $200 billion in Chinese goods. The report also said, however, that Trump has not made up his mind on the matter. The White House declined to comment on the report.

Investors also watched as the U.S. and Canada tried to strike a deal on trade.

"We had some momentum when the U.S and Mexico struck a deal earlier in the week," said Ryan Nauman, market strategist at Informa Financial Intelligence. "But as the deadline approaches, people are getting a bit worried."''

David Stockman's comments on Trump's NAFTA "revamp", from this article, are pretty hilarious:

"There was never a problem with NAFTA anyway, and what he has done is basically remove the name and complicated the machinery [and] given a big wage increase to Mexican workers," Stockman told Bloomberg Television on Friday.
