Vance says tariffs signal US is ‘done being taken advantage of’

Published



Vice President JD Vance explained that Mexico and China are not conducting retaliation on the United States and its newly announced tariffs, as the U.S. is actually the one responding to their actions.

President Donald Trump implemented wide-ranging tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China on Saturday. Both Mexico and Canada have announced tariffs in response, while China is pursuing legal action against the U.S. Vance suggested that Trump is specifically standing up against China and Mexico taking advantage of the U.S. “for decades,” and is telling the two countries “no more” with these tariffs.
