Pence Slams Trump's Tariffs as Economic Disaster | JQJO

Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized President Trump's tariff policies, calling them the "largest peacetime tax hike" in US history. Pence, in a recent NBC interview and Wall Street Journal op-ed, argued that the tariffs differ significantly from their previous approach and are harming the American economy. He stated that the tariffs are passed on to consumers in higher prices, contradicting Trump's claims. This public criticism highlights a growing rift between the former running mates on economic policy, with Pence suggesting alternative strategies to address trade with China.
