Here are 90 people across Fox News and Fox Business who cheered Trump’s destructive tariffs
On April 2, President Donald Trump announced various tariffs on nearly every country. A week later, he announced what he called a “pause” of some country-specific tariffs, while implementing a universal 10% import tax rate for 90 days on most goods, significantly raising import taxes on Chinese goods, and keeping new tariffs on Canada and Mexico for goods not covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
In the week between Trump’s April 2 announcement and the so-called pause, at least 90 people across Fox News and Fox Business, including 8 guests from the Trump administration and 16 Republicans in Congress, praised his tariff plan.
