Ken Griffin: Trump’s tariffs and rhetoric are “huge mistake”
Citadel founder fears chaos of president’s actions could damage economy

The business community hasn’t had many outspoken critics of Donald Trump early in his second term, but when Ken Griffin speaks, people listen.

The Citadel founder and chief executive officer voiced frustration over the president’s tariff policies during an appearance at a UBS conference in Miami on Tuesday, Yahoo Finance reported. Griffin has said he voted for Trump in November, but didn’t donate to his campaign.

“From my vantage point, the bombastic rhetoric, the damage has already been done, and it’s a huge mistake to resort to this form of rhetoric when you’re trying to drive a bargain, because it like imprints, it sears into the minds of CEOs, policymakers,” Griffin said at the conference.

He added that the “uncertainty and chaos created by the tariff dynamics between us and our allies is an impediment to growth,” bemoaning how multinationals won’t know how to plan for the coming years amid the upheaval.
