Planned tariffs are pressure for countries to abandon unfair trade policies, Treasury Secretary says

The Treasury Secretary said on Tuesday that the Trump administration would consider a wide range of practices in determining reciprocal tariff rates, including currency manipulation, subsidies, and labor policies in order to pressure countries to abandon the policies.

The comments from Secretary Bessent on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria” provide more clarity on the reciprocal tariffs President Donald Trump plans to implement beginning April 2, in addition to duties already levied against goods from China, Mexico and Canada since taking office earlier this year.

“We are going to go to them and say, ‘Look, here is where we think the tariff levels are, nontariff barriers, currency manipulation, unfair funding, labor suppression, and if you will stop this, we will not put up the tariff wall,’” Bessent told host Maria Bartiromo.

The tariffs, Bessent explained, are designed to pressure countries to change these problematic policies that the administration believes undermines American workers and global competitiveness.

If a country doesn’t change these policies, Bessent said, “then we will put up the tariff wall to protect our economy, protect our workers and protect our industries.”

So Canada is the same as China? Ok, then. Makes a lot of sense.

BREAKING: Minnesota State Sen. Justin Eichorn (R-Grand Rapids) was arrested for allegedly soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Eichorn made news on Monday for co-authoring a bill designating "Trump derangement syndrome" as a mental illness.

Yup, checks out..again not a gay or a tranny, but a middle aged white guy diddling children. Fucking evil

The Administration is not being 100% truthful on reciprocating tariffs. Might be out of an attempt to simplify, but still, some of what they are saying can at best be labeled as misleading.

I find it suspect when during an interview a reporter asked Biden about something he signed and his response was "I didn't sign that". I forget the EO or bill or whatever it was. At the time, it was just more of a "OMG, he's old and not in control", but there could be much more to it. Time will tell. If it turns out a bunch of 25 year old staffers were taking direction from the speaker of the house or some other direction other than the President, shit's gonna hit the fan in a very messy way on this.

Apparently we are in the same basket now. Beats the hell out of me. Yet Russia is now the special friend. Maybe there is a pee tape?

I can't wait until we have a new trade agreement with America so I can ignore it for the next 3 1/2 years. This stupid news carousel is just exhausting.

They were just a convenient excuse to start a tariff war.

I don't they understand what tariffs actually are and how to use them.

Actually, I think they know all too well, they just can't say why they are doing it because it would make them look bad in public perception. The US economy is the big D in the room, and we are just using the size and strength of our economy into bullying other countries. It is that simple. Some deserve it (China), some don't (Canada).
