Trump warns China: ‘I am a Tariff Man’

Published December 4, 2018 3:22pm ET



President Trump dramatically reaffirmed his support for tariffs Tuesday, declaring in a tweet that he is “a Tariff Man” as part of a warning that China will face punitive measures if a deal is not struck in the 90-window for trade negotiations.

“….I am a Tariff Man. When people or countries come in to raid the great wealth of our Nation, I want them to pay for the privilege of doing so. It will always be the best way to max out our economic power. We are right now taking in $billions in Tariffs. MAKE AMERICA RICH AGAIN,” Trump said.
