billionaire art collector ken griffin us eroding brand 1234739652
Billionaire art collector and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin stated that the United States is “eroding” its brand due to economic policy changes during President Donald Trump’s first 100 days. Speaking at Semafor’s World Economy Summit on April 23, Griffin warned that the reputation and creditworthiness of US Treasuries are at risk, citing recent tariff-driven sell-offs of government bonds. He expressed concern about policy volatility undermining the goal of reshoring manufacturing and noted that investors using the euro as a reference have lost 20% of their value in four weeks. Griffin also voiced support for DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk, which has recommended cuts to the National Endowment for the Humanities.
