Sen. Klobuchar on Tariffs: American People Know It, Chaos, Corruption and Costs Are Up

RUSH EXCERPT:
KLOBUCHAR: "Obviously, I’d like to see less fentanyl come into our country, and that should be on the table for discussion, but the way this has been handled from the very beginning, kristen, and the American people know it, chaos is up, corruption is up and costs are up. Just ask any mom today on mother’s day when they’re out trying to get a stroller. They’re up 25%. This is real. I listened to my colleague from Wyoming who I respect very much, but I’m thinking, let’s get real here. Supply chain problems for small businesses. They’ve lost 300,000 jobs in small businesses in just the first few months of this president’s presidency. Only 37% of Americans think he’s handling the economy right, and he has the lowest poll numbers of any president since polling started in the first hundred days. That’s because Americans don’t want to hear all these talking points. They know it’s really happening in their lives like a woman named beth benkey when owns a store calls busy baby. She sells online, and her business has been decimated despite being entrepreneur of the year in my state because of how they have handled China, how they have been handling countries all over the world. Sure, I’m glad they’re talking, but they have assessed 10% to 25% tariffs on our allies. The very people that we would need our 14s friends and allies order to deal with China. To me, they’ve been dealing with this upside down. Targeted tariffs, yes, but they should be working with trade agreements with Canada, Mexico, trade agreement with the U.S. to strengthen that instead of these across the board tariff taxes on all Americans, and now a baby tax."
