Ted Lieu on Tariffs on Canada: Trump’s Temper Tantrum Does Not Help American Workers

RUSH EXCERPT:

LIEU: "Thank you, Alex, for that question. It does not help the American worker when the president throws a temper tantrum at one of our closest allies. It’s particularly odd to go after Canada for three reasons. Number one, the U.S. Has an $8.4 billion trade surplus with Canada. Number two, Canada has lower average tariffs than the united States. And number three, American steel companies and steelworkers oppose these tariffs on Canadian steel. So the very industry that the Trump Administration is trying to help opposes these tariffs. None of this makes any sense."
