Kudlow: Trump’s Essentially Doing What McCain Wanted Him To Do with Respect to Free Trade

‘President Trump made it clear time and again that he wants to reinstitute a process of free trade, no tariffs, no tariff barriers, no quotas and subsidies’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KUDLOW: " Two things. One, John McCain and I are old friends and I wish him well. He is not well. I wish him well. Just want to make that point. Number two, President Trump is essentially doing what John McCain wanted him to do with respect to free trade. President Trump made it clear time and again that he wants to reinstitute a process of free trade, no tariffs, no tariff barriers, no quotas and subsidies. He was absolutely consistent during this entire trip. And to some extent, this was a new emphasis, although I wrote a piece in the “Washington Post” the other day, I have known trump as a pre-trader. I knew that. This is the first time as I recall he put it out there explicitly. And what does he get from Trudeau? A slap in the face. Sorry, nobody in in game is perfect. Nobody is entirely clean. I get that. But that doesn’t mean you can’t negotiate in good faith."
