Did Rupert Murdoch get a dressing down in Oval office by President Donald Trump? Here's what reports are saying

Wall Street Journal's billionaire owner Rupert Murdoch was recently called out at the Oval Office by new President Trump, but just a few hours after this happened, the Wall Street Journal's editorial board published a piece about Trump relenting on his tariffs. According to a Daily Beast report, Wall Street Journal published an article with a narrative completely against the 'Trump media chorus', who have been claiming that the tariffs on Mexico and Canada is genius work.

Wall Street Journal takes a dig at Trump

Wall Street Journal thoroughly bashed the concept of the new US President imposing a whopping 25 per cent import taxes on its allies Canada and Mexico, which he has now agreed to delay at least by a month since Canada and Mexico have said that they would be strict with their border security and regulations in the coming days.

Is Murdoch getting the last laugh as WSJ bashes the Trump administration

However, WSJ's report claimed that Trump's declaration of victory was rather overblown, and these tariffs could make an immediate return if President Trump is 'in the wrong mood'. This was not the first time WSJ has bashed the reining US President, but has also criticized his move to issue a Presidential pardon for the January 6 rioters, and also for doing away with the security details of his first-term administrative advisers, says the Daily Beast report.
