Vice President JD Vance sought to cast a global rout in stocks as a temporary pain as the White House downplayed the immediate effects of President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda.

“I frankly thought in some ways it could be worse in the markets, because this is a big transition,” Vance said in an interview with Newsmax. “You saw the President said earlier today, it’s like a patient who was very sick, we did the operation, and now it’s time to make the patient better. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.”
