Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) called for a more strategic approach to President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which were enacted on nearly every nation last week.

The Democratic governor’s remarks came during her “Build, America, Build” speech Wednesday morning in Washington, D.C. The speech marks Whitmer’s first address in the nation’s capital this week. She will meet with Trump later on Wednesday.
