President Donald Trump has expressed satisfaction with his approach of using tariffs to secure concessions from foreign governments. This comes as Canada and Mexico have agreed to suspend certain duties for a month.
"Well, how do you like them apples?" Vice President JD Vance remarked on Monday.
Oren Cass from American Compass shared his perspective on the matter, stating, "A tariff that makes no sense from one perspective might be entirely wise and effective from another." He further explained, "Many otherwise serious economists have criticized Trump's China tariffs for failing to reshore manufacturing. But they were decoupling tariffs, and they achieved that."
