Ron Johnson: Trump’s Tariffs, Trade Wars ‘a Risky and Dangerous Strategy’

‘I would much rather export $2.3 trillion and have a trade deficit than have a trade surplus and only export $1 trillion’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "Our trade posture can really be an effective foreign policy tool, do an awful lot of good. We can wield an awful lot of influence because of that. And again, if we start engaging in trade wars, I don't believe anybody wins a trade war quite honestly. There may be people that are harmed less, maybe America is in a better position, but I think there's so much collateral damage, I think it's a risky and dangerous strategy."
