On April 4, during the Thursday midday trading session of the US stock market on April 3 Eastern Time, Trump said when asked by reporters at the White House about market reactions: "I think the progress is very smooth. You have never seen such a situation. The market will prosper. The stock market will prosper. The country will prosper. Other places around the world want to know if they have a way to reach an agreement."

After the US stock market closed, Trump said again that the market's reaction was "as expected" and that the US economy is in a "transitional period". He once again compared the US economy he inherited from Biden to a "patient" who has undergone surgery.

Trump also hinted that he is willing to reach some agreements on tariffs. He said: "Every country has called out to us. This is the beauty of the work we have done, we have put ourselves in the driver's seat."
