Senator Rand Paul defended his stance against President Trump's tariffs in a recent Fox News appearance, responding to Peter Navarro's comments linking tariff critics to the fentanyl trade. Paul emphasized tariffs as a detrimental economic policy, predicting they would cost consumers an additional $1,000 annually. He recognized the importance of combating fentanyl trafficking from Mexico but indicated that tariffs create more harm than good. Paul acknowledged Trump's negotiating skills while asserting that while tariffs can be useful as leverage, their enactment would adversely affect trade and consumer prices.
It's kind of a ridiculous statement to say that people who are against tariffs are for the fentanyl trade because it's just not true.
Tariffs as an economic policy are a disaster for the consumer. I mean, higher prices... the average price that the consumer will pay is about $1,000 more.
