US President Donald Trump defended his controversial economic policies during a cabinet meeting with his closest advisors, inviting cameras into the room for a rare glimpse. The meeting followed confirmation from the White House that Chinese imports would be hit with 145 percent tariffs—an announcement that sent markets into a downturn, wiping out some of Wednesday’s earlier gains.
