Joe Biden on Tariffs: I Think It Will Cause a Lot of Farmers to Go Bankrupt

‘We are focusing on the wrong thing with China’

EXCERPT:

REPORTER: "Mr. Vice President, what is your message to the farmers who are caught in the middle of President Trump trade war, but they say he is doing the right thing, it's just going to cause them a little financial pain in the meantime."
BIDEN: "I think they are causing a lot more than little financial pain. I think it will cause a lot of people to go bankrupt. I think it will cause an awful lot of ancillary industries like the industries that make tractors and all the farm equipment. They will be in real trouble. We are focusing on the wrong thing with China. I plan on and I've argued that we should be very tough with China.”
