Jonathan Karl Grills Sarah Huckabee Sanders On Trump Tariffs
Briefly

KARL: Donald Trump is talking about widespread tariffs - tariffs on virtually everything that is imported into the United States, big tariffs. It's become almost a centerpiece of his economic message right now. How is that conservative? I mean, I've been covering politics for a long time. Conservatives usually don't like taxes, don't like tariffs. Now, Trump is talking about them all the time.
SANDERS: This is a president who uses that as a tool to hold others' feet to the fire. He wants to make sure that we're actually making things in America. There's nothing more conservative than empowering Americans and American companies to build things here versus building them overseas.
SANDERS: We have to quit becoming completely dependent and reliant on people who hate us, people like China, people like Russia, people like Iran. We have a president now who has allowed himself to be completely walked all over, and a vice president who has been right there by his side, allowing other countries to take the lead.
SANDERS: As we move into the next four years in the next administration, we have to decide who do we want to be the world leaders? Do we want it to be the United States or do we want it to be our adversaries like China, like Russia? Frankly, I don't want it to be them. I want it to be the United States.
