Hedge fund giant Ken Griffin expressed his anxiety over Trump's potential tariff policies, but as he returns to the White House, the U.S. economy is returning to &#34;business as usual.&#34;
The Citadel founder spoke at the Oxford Union in the UK on Monday, stating that tariffs are a &#34;long slippery slope&#34; that can be profitable in the short term but will harm the global competitiveness of U.S. companies in the long run.
Griffin stated that American businesses will &#34;return&#34; to creating jobs, developing businesses, and the economy over the next four years, rather than &#34;dealing with excessive regulation.&#34;
