Trump official clashes with CBS host about if administration used AI to make tariff policy

"Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan asked Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick whether AI helped construct some of the tariff policies. CBS' Margaret Brennan asked Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick whether artificial intelligence was involved in designing President Donald Trump's broad tariff policies on Sunday. The "Face the Nation" host confronted Lutnick on Trump's "Liberation Day" announcement, which saw significant tariff increases across numerous countries. This included a baseline tariff of 10% on all U.S. imports that began on Saturday. The announcement caused chaos for investors as the stock market suffered some of its worst losses since the COVID pandemic in 2020.
