Eric Schmitt defends Trump's tariffs: 'Worked the first time'

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) stood by the recent tariffs President Donald Trump announced against China, Canada, and Mexico.

The nearest neighbors to the U.S. are each facing a 25% tariff that is slated to begin on Tuesday. Additionally, a 10% tariff will go into place against Canadian energy. Meanwhile China was handed a 10% tariff on top of what was already in place from Trump’s first term, which former President Joe Biden largely kept in place.
