Mr. Bessent rode with Mr. Trump back to Washington on Air Force One. During the flight, Mr. Bessent advised the president to focus on negotiating with other countries, saying Mr. Trump is the most deft negotiator there is, four people briefed on the discussion said. But he also stressed that Mr. Trump needed to articulate the endgame of his plan because the markets needed more certainty.
Mr. Trump pushed back, the people said, emphasizing the pain was “short term,” one of the people said. But Mr. Bessent said that could mean many months in market terms.
The president apparently absorbed only part of the message.
