Taco FTW

The “Taco trade” proved profitable again this week as US President Donald Trump walked back his proposals for invading Greenland. ("Taco", of course, is the acronym for "Trump always chickens out".) Gone too are threatened tariffs on allies that stood up to defend the island. Today on the show, Rob Armstrong and Lex editor John Foley discuss the president’s retreat and the market’s joy. Also they go short Grønlandsbanken and long wintry days in New York.
