After weeks of Wall Street grasping for signals he's been sidelined, a dive into the flaw in the assumption Trump's second term econ team is anything like his first - and what that actually means for Navarro.

Scoop: Trump called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos Tuesday morning to complain about reports that his company was considering displaying the cost U.S. tariffs next to prices for certain products on its website, two senior White House officials told @CNN

Now we're beginning to see some real tariff revenue. Monday's custom duty deposit to Treasury from CBP was $11.7 billion, almost $7 billion higher than the April 2024 deposit. Suggests that tariffs were biting in April in a way they weren't in February or March.

Bessent said 100+ countries have reached out to negotiate trade deals.

The WH says it's only received 18 written proposals.

Between Trump's random itches to reverse course - and the possibility a court halts tariffs - most are choosing to wait it out.

NEW: China’s finance minister and central bank leader are in DC — yet there are no plans for top US officials to meet them, despite Trump’s insistence that discussions are happening and a trade deal could take shape.

Tune in!

"[The White House wants] this manufacturing to come back to the U.S. so badly that it is a strategy that is going to be implemented at all costs," says @kaylatausche.

"But there's an asterisk there, which is that Donald Trump very much cares about what happens to the market."

NEW reporting w/ team @CNN --

How much does Trump care about the market rout? It depends who you ask.

He's racing to make deals with other countries and his team is fielding apoplectic calls from CEOs. Their biggest question: What's the endgame?

Last week, I visited Kansas City, a blue pocket in the deep-red heartland where the federal gov't is the largest employer.

Thousands could be laid off there in the coming weeks - workers are preparing for the worst.

Here and on @TheLeadCNN next hour.
