John Fetterman Pushes Back On Claim He Praised Trump Tariffs
"So, for me, it seems like the E.U. thing has been going well, and I guess we'll see how it happens with China. I mean, what I said was in the context that, yeah, you didn't crater the economy and you did not trash the stock market, but I have also said there's part of those tariffs that I'll never get."
"I mean, what I said was in the context that, yeah, you didn't crater the economy and you did not trash the stock market, but I have also said there's part of those tariffs that I'll never get. I don't understand the upside to go after our allies, whether it's Canada or Mexico or, you know, other nations in Europe, the senator explained on Saturday."
"Fetterman joined Hasnie on Saturday following the Supreme Court ruling that Trump's tariffs are illegal this week in a 8-3 decision. The president has said his administration will find other avenues for tariffs, and he ripped into justices who shot them down, some of whom he nominated, calling them an embarrassment to their families. Trump announced on Saturday he's hiking global tariffs across the board to 15% effective immediately."
Sen. John Fetterman acknowledged negative consequences from widespread tariffs while noting that they have not crashed the economy or stock market. The Supreme Court ruled the tariffs illegal in an 8-3 decision, and the president responded by announcing a global tariff increase to 15% and criticizing justices. Fetterman criticized tariffs applied to allies such as Canada, Mexico, and European nations and said tariffs should target countries like China. He warned that tariffs have raised prices on everyday items like coffee and urged the president to collaborate with Congress.
