Former President Donald Trump has pointed fingers at the current U.S. leadership for the global stock market sell-off.
What Happened: Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to express his views on the stock market’s downturn. He attributed the market’s instability to the “inept U.S. Leadership,” singling out Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden.
“Stock markets crashing. I told you so!!! Kamala doesn't have a clue. Biden is sound asleep,” Trump wrote.
Trump’s comments come amid a significant sell-off in the global stock markets, with Asian stocks witnessing a significant decline. The Japanese market, in particular, confirmed a bear market on Monday – the Nikkei 225 and Topix indices have fallen more than 20% from their all-time highs on Jul. 11.
