Hassett used "Yep" to answer whether Trump would consider suspending tariffs for 90 days, which was misunderstood by the market

Odaily News Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, was interviewed by Fox News. When host Jimmy asked Trump whether he would consider suspending tariffs for 90 days, Hassett said the interjection "Yep" before answering, and then said: "I think the president will make his decision... Even if you think there will be some negative impact on trade, it will only account for a small part of GDP." Financial blog Zero Hedge explained that the market seemed to have misunderstood "Yep" as meaning "agreement", but he just wanted to say that he heard the question clearly. (Jinshi)
