Mollie Hemingway: We’ve Had Tariffs Since the Beginning of the Country, It Was Set Up to Respond to World War II

‘The question is not whether we have tariffs in place but really what they’re going to look like’

EXCERPT:

HEMINGWAY: “The question is not whether we have tariffs in place, but really what they’re going to look like. We have had tariffs since the beginning of the country. For a long time, our tariff regime was set up to respond to World War II, which has been over for 80 years. So resetting some of these issues so that we are actually addressing the current issues going on, like the ability to undercut prices by using forced labor, it just shows why Trump is going to continue to be pushing these."
