Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is urging other countries to not retaliate against President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs and to "take a deep breath."

"Everybody sit back, take a deep breath, don't immediately retaliate. Let's see where this goes, because if you retaliate, that's how we get escalation," Bessent said in an interview

Yes, because other countries are the ones escalating. Get fucked.
