Ken Griffin, the CEO of Citadel and a Wall Street financial mogul, recently expressed dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump's tariffs, stating that Trump should not harm America's reputation as a global brand. He warned that U.S. Treasuries, the dollar, and national credit are America's most valuable assets and that any damage to this brand could take a lifetime to repair.

According to a report by CNBC, Griffin, who was once a supporter of Trump and a major Republican donor, noted that the U.S. is more than just a nation; it is a symbol of global branding. He stated that Trump's trade wars are eroding this brand, with the dollar weakening and investor confidence beginning to falter as a result.

Griffin stressed the importance of caution among those in positions of representing the brand, including the president, the treasury secretary, and the commerce secretary, emphasizing the need to act in a way that respects the brand. He warned that if the brand is harmed, it may take a lifetime to regain trust.
