Christian is a guest on NTD News as he discusses how Donald Trump, in collaboration with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is trying to streamline government operations and reduce national debt. The President has initiated significant federal workforce reductions. This initiative includes plans to downsize or eliminate certain agencies, such as the Department of Education, aiming to enhance efficiency and fiscal responsibility. While these actions have faced legal challenges and public debate, the administration remains committed to reshaping the federal landscape to better serve the nation's interests.

In this insightful discussion, they delve into the impending shift towards digital currencies backed by gold, the strategic implications of tariffs on critical industries like steel and aluminum, and the broader economic policies shaping America's future. Briggs shares his expertise on how these developments could redefine global financial systems, bolster the U.S. economy, and restore the middle class. Don't miss this deep dive into the dynamics of modern economic strategies and their impact on both national and international stages.
President Donald Trump has enacted a 25% tariff on all aluminum and steel imports into the United States, aiming to bolster domestic manufacturing and protect American industries from foreign competition. He has also announced plans to implement reciprocal tariffs later this week, though specific targets remain unspecified. In a move to reduce unnecessary government spending, Trump has directed Treasury Secretary Scott Beston to cease the production of new pennies, citing the high cost of minting relative to their value. Economist and CEO of Hard Asset Management, Christian Briggs, supports these initiatives, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding American manufacturing jobs and addressing the challenges posed by foreign subsidies and predatory pricing. While acknowledging potential short-term inflation, Briggs believes these policies will ultimately strengthen the U.S. economy by revitalizing the manufacturing sector and creating high-paying jobs.
