Mike Rowe on Trump’s Reciprocal Tariff Plans: ‘They Will Hurt Short Term’
‘If the answer is “we want to be more more independent,” then there’s going to be some short-term pain’
EXCERPT:
BALLASY: “The reciprocal tariffs that he's proposing --”
ROWE: “Mm-hmm.”
BALLASY: “-- are you worried that they're going to hurt certain industries in the U.S.?”
ROWE: “Long-term or short-term?”
BALLASY: “Short-term.”
ROWE: “Yes, they will hurt short-term. Is it worth it long-term? Look, do you want to be dependent on China? Do you want to be reliant on other countries? These are really simple, fundamental questions. And if the answer is we want to be more independent, then there's going to be some short-term pain. I don't know how else to even think about that. So yeah, I worry about it. But in the end, how do you not?”
