US White House Press Secretary Leavitt: We're in a period of economic transition

update 2025.03.12 04:05

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the press from the White House on Tuesday, following up on President Donald Trump's declarations of setting additional tariffs on Canada, to begin as soon as Wednesday. Press Secretary Leavitt's commentary covered a range of Trump's planned activities and statements, but fell short of declaring anything concrete.

Press Sec Leavitt wrapped up with an attempted pivot to discussing Ukraine, where firm resolutions remain equally elusive, ending discussions on a US-inspired trade war with Canada by noting that comments from Ontario Prime Minister Doug Ford hurt the Trump administration's feelings.

Key highlights

Trump will welcome NATO Secretary General on Thursday.

Stock market numbers are a snapshot of a moment in time.
