Trump: China's Xi 'Extremely Hard' to Do Deal With, Musk Blasts Tax Bill
President Donald Trump said in a late-night social media post that Chinese leader Xi Jinping was very tough to make a deal with, raising questions about whether a fragile economic truce between the world's two largest economies will hold. China and the US are at odds on a number of issues, and have yet to confirm plans for a leader-to-leader call the White House has said it expects will happen later this week. Meanwhile Trump ally Elon Musk lambasted the president's signature tax bill as a budget-busting 'abomination' as Republican fiscal hawks stepped up criticism of the massive fiscal package. The tech titan's public condemnation pits him against the president at a critical time as Trump is personally lobbying holdouts on the bill. Today's guests: Philipp Hildebrand, BlackRock Vice Chairman, Joana Rocha Scaff, Neuberger Berman Head of Europe Private Equity, Valérie Urbain, Euroclear CEO, Janet Truncale, EY CEO (Source: Bloomberg)
