Legendary investor Warren Buffett likened tariffs to “an act of war” in a new interview as President Trump doubles down on his embrace of the economic strategy.

In an interview that aired Sunday on CBS News, anchor Norah O’Donnell asked Buffett about the effects tariffs will have on the economy.

“Tariffs are actually, we’ve had a lot of experience with them,” Buffett said in response. “They’re an act of war, to some degree.”

On tariffs’ impact on inflation, Buffett said, “Over time, they are a tax on goods.”

“I mean, the Tooth Fairy doesn’t pay ’em,” he added with a laugh.

Buffett said it’s important in economics to look a step ahead and ask, “And then what?”

The US government is considering selling a sprawling portfolio properties across 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, part of President Donald Trump’s campaign to shrink the federal workforce — and the buildings it occupies.

An inventory of 443 “non-core” assets posted by the General Services Administration Tuesday included many of the prime commercial buildings that house local and regional offices for federal agencies and provide services for taxpayers, Social Security recipients, farmers and workers.

In total, the structures represent almost 80 million rentable square feet (7.4 million square meters) of usable space — 12 times the size of the Pentagon. The GSA estimates that selling them could save more than $430 million in annual operating costs, a key focus for Trump and his efforts to reduce government spending. The president is expected to address a joint session of Congress later Tuesday.

Attorney General Pam Bondi did not inform White House officials in advance that she planned to distribute binders labeled “Epstein Files: Phase 1” to MAGA-aligned activists and social media influencers at a White House event last week. The move, which senior staff did not anticipate, quickly stirred controversy and frustration among those closest to President Trump, multiple sources said.
