As a former acting U.S. trade representative who also served on the National Security Council, I’ve engaged in international economic policymaking firsthand.
Trump’s main economic idea is to indiscriminately impose tariffs on U.S. trading partners, but it is American importers, exporters and consumers who will pay the price.
When Trump last levied tariffs, the EU, Canada, China and other trading partners imposed their own tariffs in retaliation.
While President Joe Biden left most of Trump’s tariffs against China in place, he managed to negotiate agreements that led to the easing of many retaliatory measures.
As president, Harris would lead an economy that helps everyone, not just those at the very top.
