Woodward: General Kelly Didn’t Even Know There Was a Meeting on Steel Tariffs

EXCERPT:

BARNICLE: “So given that, who is there in the White House to control or monitor the daily dangers that any president, and this president, obviously, is confronted with? Who is there?”
WOODWARD: “The Chief of Staff Kelly. I talked at some length about — and he literally put out memos telling people 'We have to have a process. No seat-of-the-pants decisions are final and there has to be a signature on a decision memo by the President.' But, you know, Trump is going to do what he wants and there are examples. He calls people, steel executives in, and says, 'We're going to have tariffs.' And General Kelly didn’t even know there was a meeting on that.”
