Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore.,
today on Trump’s decision to levy additional tariffs on products imported from
China:
“I am always first in line for getting tough on China.
But Trump doesn’t have any strategy to get China to stop cheating on trade –
the only thing he knows how to do is raise tariffs. The tariffs announced today
will raise costs on everything from computers to backpacks to clothes as kids
go back to school, without any reason to think that it will make China stop
stealing our technology and undercutting American jobs. Trump said he’d bring
back Americans’ jobs, instead he’s picking their pockets.”
