Billionaire Griffin criticized Trump's business deals, saying that when the government begins to choose winners, "we all lose."

Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of Castle Investment, criticized the Trump administration for reaching agreements with large companies to avoid the full implementation of its tariff policy, calling such agreements anti-American. "Is this our country? Are we going to favor those big shots with connections?" Griffin said, "This is not the American way." "When the government gets involved in picking winners and losers, there is only one outcome: we all lose," billionaire Griffin added.
