Appearing on CNN’s The Source on Monday, Mike Pence expressed serious reservations about President Donald Trump’s tariff proposals, arguing they would drive up prices and make life harder for American consumers, particularly families relying on affordable goods.
Pence told host Kaitlan Collins that while addressing trade imbalances is important, the current approach lacks precision. “I do have concerns, that with the president’s call for broad based tariffs against friend and foe alike that ultimately the administration is advancing policies that are not targeted at countries that have been abusing our trade relationship, but rather are essentially new industrial policy that will result in inflation, that will harm consumers and ultimately harm the American economy.”
