Cruz Battles Trump on Trade: Last Time We Tried Tariffs We Had a Great Depression

CRUZ: "When you put those in place because a tariff is a tax on you, the American people, but the response is that the countries we trade with put in their own tariffs. A much better solution that works is the tax plan I've laid out which would enable our exports to be tax-free would tax our imports, would not raise prices for Americans and would not result in reciprocal tariffs. Fix the problem and that's what's missing from what Donald says."
