President Trump surprised even some jaded observers with the size and scope of new tariffs on America’s trading partners, earning immediate criticism as a “Trump Tax” on US consumers.
While the president tried to claim the tariffs would address trade deficits, economists say the odds of a recession have grown even higher. Congressman Mark Pocan criticized the impact of the tariffs on Wisconsin price tags, export markets, and household finances.
Pocan will be on UpNorthNews Radio Friday morning at 7:30am across the Civic Media radio network and on the UpNorthNews Facebook and YouTube pages.
