Commerce secretary: Trump China tariffs 'have been effective'

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said this week that former President Donald Trump’s tariffs on China were “effective.”

“Let me say, those tariffs have been effective. The data show that those tariffs have been effective,” Raimondo told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle when asked about Trump’s response to China “dumping cheap steel.” “And I think what President Biden has said is, we’re going to have a whole of government review of all of these policies and decide what it makes sense to maintain.”
