**Ken Griffin Expresses Concern Over Trump's Tariff Policies**

Ken Griffin, the influential founder of Citadel hedge fund, has raised concerns about the economic approach of former President Donald Trump, particularly regarding tariff policies. Speaking at the Oxford Union in the UK, Griffin shared his anxieties about the potential long-term impacts of these policies on the American economy.

Griffin elaborated that while tariffs might offer short-term financial benefits, they pose significant risks. He described tariffs as a "long, slippery slope" that could ultimately undermine the competitiveness of US companies on a global scale. Despite these concerns, he conveyed optimism about the future of the US economy, suggesting that it is returning to a focus on "the business of business" with Trump’s anticipated return to the White House.

The hedge fund mogul’s comments highlight the contentious debate surrounding tariffs, which have been a key aspect of Trump's economic strategy. Griffin's insights underscore the need for a careful evaluation of such policies to avoid impairing the global standing of US enterprises.
