On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced his much-anticipated reciprocal tariffs on more than 180 countries designed to reset global trade and return manufacturing to the United States. While many financial experts have reacted with skepticism, Rep. Dan Meuser told Newsmax on Thursday that the tariffs were necessary as the world markets “needed a reckoning. We needed a correction, and President Trump is bringing it.”
He spoke about unfair trade.
“Look, we’ve been treated unfairly. Free trade has become synonymous with unfair trade. And President Trump is creating a fair playing field, a more level playing field when it comes to trade levels, the so-called tariff levels. The United States is already a very expensive place to do business, right? Our healthcare costs are higher, our taxes, our regulations, we’re a litigious society, so all these things factor in and then we give advantages to overseas manufacturers to sell into our country,” Meuser said during an appearance on Newsmax’s “National Report.”
The representative from Pennsylvania’s 9th Congressional District clarified that Trump’s economic plan will feed off itself but it all starts with the tariffs to bring manufacturing home.
“The more ‘made in the USA’, the more supply we create, that will match demand, which will bring down inflation, which will allow interest rates to come down, which will allow more housing to take place, more car purchases, more CapEx investment. And what President Trump’s talking about is a golden era in manufacturing. That that’s the plan,” Meuser added.
