The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board published a punchy Saturday op-ed listing all the failed reasons for President Trump’s tariff plan, citing a declining trend in trade and manufacturing culpability following signed sanctions.
“White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says they’ve ‘enabled illegal drugs to pour into America. But drugs have flowed into the U.S. for decades, and will continue to do so as long as Americans keep using them,” read the Wall Street Journal op-ed. “Neither country can stop it.”
“Mr. Trump sometimes sounds as if the U.S. shouldn’t import anything at all, that America can be a perfectly closed economy making everything at home. This is called autarky, and it isn’t the world we live in, or one that we should want to live in, as Mr. Trump may soon find out,” they outlined.
