On relations with allies: "I don't think that the President can act the way that he has acted towards Greenland, I don't think he can institute not just the tariffs but the rhetoric towards our Canadian neighbors, without consequences."

Fun discovery: on an apples-to-apples basis, Trump's tariff taxes are larger than the tax increases in the House-passed version of Build Back Better in 2021.

Of course, the distribution of Biden's tax hikes on corporations and millionaires are different from Trump's tariffs.

Build Back Better raises $2.1T and Trump's tariffs raise $2.6T.

Tariffs rebound on Americans as Trump begins to rein in: midterms scare

For the FT, the U.S. president would be considering lowering tariffs on aluminum and steel, even though adviser Navarro denies it. The fact is that a study by the New York Fed shows that the trade war hurts American citizens.
