WASHINGTON, April 7 — US President Donald Trump said yesterday that violent falls in American and global markets showed the “medicine” of his trade tariff barrage was working.

“Sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington from a weekend of golfing in Florida, adding that trade partners are “coming to the table” and “want to talk.” — AFP
