Ken Griffin, the billionaire founder of Citadel, expressed strong criticism of former President Donald Trump's tariff policies at the Milken Institute Global Conference, labeling them as "crony capitalism" that could harm the U.S. economy.

He emphasized the need for free trade and warned that such protectionist measures could lead to economic inefficiencies and hinder global trade relationships. Griffin's comments come at a time when Trump's economic policies are under scrutiny as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
