White House National Economic Council director Kevin Hassett said a stock market crash is not part of an intentional strategy by President Donald Trump .

Trump shared a link to a video on his social media platform, Truth Social , which claimed he was causing the markets to plummet on purpose as part of his broader economic plans.

The president's retaliatory global tariffs rollout on Wednesday led to a steep market selloff.
