Former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross anticipates that President-elect Donald Trump will face less pushback from Congress over his aggressive use of tariffs than he did during his first term in office, thanks in part to the decline of free-trade Republicans.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Ross discussed Trump’s tariff plans and how he expects tariff policy to play out in Trump’s second term. Ross, 87, was one of the main officials tasked with administering tariffs during his time at the Commerce Department, which he led for the entirety of Trump’s first presidency.
