Warren Buffett has commented on the recent economic turbulence caused by President Donald Trump's imposition of new 145% tariffs on China, which triggered a sharp market decline, including a 4,000-point drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average over two days. Buffett likened the economy to a train that can experience derailments but emphasized that America’s progress cannot be stopped. Reflecting on past crises, he referenced his role in advising on the $250 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) during the 2008 financial crisis. Despite the ongoing US-China tariff conflict, Buffett has managed to increase his wealth by $23 billion. Additionally, Buffett’s earlier warnings about US trade deficits, including a 2003 Fortune article highlighting the risks of growing deficits and tariffs as a longstanding government revenue source, have gained renewed attention amid the current trade tensions.
