Donna Edwards on Tariffs: ‘I Don’t Think America Is Winning’

EXCERPT:

CABRERA: "Even as the president hit pause on these Canada and Mexico tariffs, Congresswoman, he teased that he would hit them with more, and he indicated the level may not even be set yet, that they could go up. Clearly, President Trump believes keeping everyone on their toes is a good thing. How do you see it? Is America winning with this strategy?"
EDWARDS: "Well, I don't think America is winning, more particularly Americans are not winning with this strategy. You know, it's interesting because, you know, when we've seen the last couple of weeks of the downslide in the -- in the market, when ordinary Americans are starting to take a look at their retirement accounts, their 401(k) plans, they've also seen that same downslide. And to the extent that continues, individual Americans are going to really feel this when it comes to trade wars, when you hear, you know, major retailers saying, 'Well, we don't have a choice. We're going to pass that along to to consumers,' that means every time you go into a store, you're going to be paying more for a product than you did a year ago or a month ago.”
