Hakeem Jeffries on Trade & Tariffs

“making affordability a reality involves a number of ideas to lower costs, including ending President Trump's tariffs and ending the war in Iran.”

“The trade deficit has not been meaningfully closed. That's number one. Point number two is that we know farmers and small business owners, companies, as well as perhaps most importantly, the American consumer have been hurt, being forced to pay. Thousands of dollars more per year and additional expense when the affordability crisis right now is already crushing everyday Americans, middle class Americans and working class Americans. And we also haven't seen a return of manufacturing jobs to the United States of America, which is what the Trump administration promise would take place.”
