Good morning. Very rich people are getting more vocal about those tariffs. Warren Buffett’s fortune keeps on growing. And the Gators chomp the Cougars in a thrilling end to March Madness. Listen to the day’s top stories.
More billionaires are breaking ranks with President Donald Trump, or his tariff policy at least. Ken Griffin, better known outside finance as the man who paid $45 million for a dinosaur, said the latest levies are a “huge policy mistake” and amount to a hefty tax on US families. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink was equally blunt, saying that most business leaders tell him the US is already in a recession.
