Virgin Atlantic Airways founder Richard Branson slammed US President Donald Trump’s tariffs as “erratic and unpredictable” actions that have knocked previously buoyant businesses into unknown territory.

“If we take Virgin, our cruise ships were booming, our airline was booming, our health clubs were full,” he said, referring to his Virgin Group holding company. “They’re still OK but you sort of feel if he continues, he’s in such danger of doing so much damage in this world.”
