Former US President Donald Trump said his policies would inspire growth despite adding to the debt as he sought to assuage business leaders who worry his economic plans will fuel inflation. Trump defended his proposals to dramatically increase tariffs on foreign goods, saying the proposals were for the “protection of the companies that we have here and the new companies that will move in.” 

He spoke in a special conversation from the Economic Club of Chicago with Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait.

Democratic Senator Gary Peters of Michigan, ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, joined "Bloomberg Balance of Power" to express strong opposition to approving a proposed $200 billion increase in Pentagon funding at this time. He emphasized that the administration has not sought the required congressional authorization as mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Peters highlighted that the current Pentagon budget is approximately $1 trillion, suggesting there is sufficient funding already available. He criticized the lack of a clear strategic plan or defined objectives, particularly questioning why there has been no effective action to keep the Straits of Hormuz open. The senator also pointed to the economic impact of rising gasoline prices on Michigan families, noting prices near $4 per gallon and the broader negative effects on consumers. He urged the president to provide transparency and justification for the proposed spending, warning that increasing the national debt without a clear plan could exacerbate economic instability.
