However, he emphasizes that the situation is not entirely resolved, and it will take time to reverse the trends inherited from the previous administration. Johnson also addresses the controversial topic of tariffs, acknowledging the Supreme Court's ruling against them while defending the Trump administration's approach to trade policy. He highlights the importance of patience and the need to avoid panic, especially regarding the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs.
