Ken Griffin is the founder and CEO of Citadel, one of the world's leading alternative investment firms. On Wednesday, Griffin addressed the impact of the Trump administration’s ongoing tariff policies, warning that the global reputation of the U.S. is at stake.
"The United States is more than just a nation—it's a brand,” Griffin said on Wednesday in a fireside chat during Semafor’s World Economy Summit of which he is a co-chair. From its culture to financial and military strength, the U.S. is an aspiration for most of the world, Griffin said, but at this juncture “we're eroding that brand right now.”
