TRUMP: 'Trade wars are good'
President Trump said that trade wars "easy to win." This comes the day after Trump annouced new taxes on steel and aluminum imports.
President Donald Trump appeared to welcome the possibility of a trade war in a tweet Friday morning, the day after announcing huge tariffs on steel and aluminum are coming.
"We must protect our country and our workers. Our steel industry is in bad shape. IF YOU DON’T HAVE STEEL, YOU DON’T HAVE A COUNTRY!" Trump tweeted later Friday morning.
"When a country Taxes our products coming in at, say, 50%, and we Tax the same product coming into our country at ZERO, not fair or smart," he said. "We will soon be starting RECIPROCAL TAXES so that we will charge the same thing as they charge us."
