Trump Plans Broad Tariffs, Dismisses Inflation Concerns
In an extensive interview with NBC News, former President Donald Trump discussed his plans to impose blanket tariffs of 15% or 20% on most trade partners, dismissing concerns about inflation. Trump stated that these tariffs would not be forthcoming on goods coming from Mexico, suggesting that negotiations indicated that a tariff was unnecessary for now. He also mentioned that he aimed to support American workers and businesses, asserting that the tariffs would help bring jobs back to the U.S. and stimulate domestic production.
Trump further addressed various other topics, including his support for sending Patriot missiles to NATO for Ukraine’s defense. He also spoke about his ability to rally the base and sell his policies, which he referred to as a “big, beautiful bill.” Throughout the interview, Trump maintained his characteristic confidence, downplaying any potential negative economic impacts of his proposed tariffs and emphasizing his commitment to protecting American interests.
