Bloomberg Talks

Kyle Bass Talks Tariffs and US Recession Odds

11 Apr 2025

Description

Kyle Bass said the US may need to undergo a recession as it reorders its global trade ties and attempts to rein in the federal deficit. ”We have to make some difficult choices,” the Dallas-based investor said in an interview on Bloomberg Television. “Both of those things might be slightly recessionary, and if that’s true, we might have to go to a brief recession in order to rebuild our foundation.”President Donald Trump’s moves to drastically increase trade levies sent equity valuations plunging and US yields soaring before Trump put in a 90-day pause. There still remain increased duties on major trading partners while the administration has ratcheted up the US tariff on goods from China to at least 145% — a result of a 125% rate that includes “reciprocal” duties and a 20% rate imposed by Trump earlier this year over fentanyl trafficking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
