That National Emergency still persists so our policy remains the same. The specific authorities this administration is using have changed but their strategy has not . We are committed to continuing use tariffs and negotiate deals To support the reindustrialization of our economy, protect American workers And increase their wages. Shrink trade deficit The problems that President’s Trade Policy seeks solve are generational These things were not broken in a day They won’t be fixed overnight But they must be fixed This is why I am pleased to report That combination Of Tariffs & Deals core to president’s policy has yielded quick impressive results Covering 32% of global gross domestic product”
