On today’s explosive episode of The Hard Asset Money Show, Christian Briggs unpacks the shocking emergence of DeepSeek, the Chinese AI disruptor that’s shaking Wall Street and sending U.S. tech stocks into freefall. With reports that China has developed a rival AI platform at a fraction of the cost, could this be America’s Sputnik moment? As the markets reel, Briggs dives into what this means for U.S. dominance in AI and why valuations could be overinflated by up to 70%. Plus, how does this play into Trump’s proposed tariffs? With strategic taxes on imports and incentives for domestic production, Trump is making bold moves to bring back manufacturing and keep America competitive. Don't miss this urgent discussion—tune in now and stay ahead of the game!
President Trump is doubling down on his America-first economic strategy, promising massive tax cuts for businesses that manufacture in the U.S. while imposing tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China. With a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% on China set for February 1st, Trump aims to redirect trillions into the U.S. economy while revitalizing domestic manufacturing. Economist Christian Briggs highlights the success of Trump’s first term, where tariffs helped bring back 600,000 manufacturing jobs. Now, with plans to slash corporate taxes to 14% and attract billions in foreign investment, Trump’s vision is clear: Make in America, benefit from record-low taxes, or pay the price. Could this strategy eliminate federal income tax altogether? With a booming GDP and rising job creation, the numbers are on his side.
With President Trump proposing new tariffs on China, Mexico, Canada, and Europe, the economic and geopolitical stakes are higher than ever. Economist and Hard Asset Management CEO Christian Briggs breaks down the impact, emphasizing how tariffs serve as a powerful negotiating tool to level the playing field. From countering China’s currency manipulation to reducing America’s trade deficit—estimated at over a trillion dollars—these tariffs could drive a resurgence in domestic manufacturing and job creation. Additionally, Trump’s strategic approach aims to disrupt the China-Mexico fentanyl pipeline, cutting cartel profits and bolstering national security. While critics worry about inflationary pressure, Briggs argues that a well-calibrated tariff strategy could generate substantial GDP growth, revitalize industries, and even help lower interest rates and oil prices. Could this move be a home run for the U.S. economy?
