Former Trump Senior Economic Adviser Stephen Moore told Newsmax on Wednesday that the United States might be in for “a little rough sledding” over the next few weeks, when it comes to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, but they will ultimately bring about “freer and fairer trade.”
“I’m an old-fashioned free trade guy and I’ve always believed in the kind of [former President Ronald] Reagan vision that North America should be one big free-trade zone,” Moore said on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America.” “Trump did negotiate a good trade deal in his first term, the [United States-Mexico-Canada] free trade deal, so I’d like to see this skirmish come to an end.
“But Trump has a point: Why is it, if we have a free trade deal with Canada, that they’re charging over 100% tariffs on some of our agriculture goods, our dairy products? That doesn’t sound like free trade to me. I was shocked when the White House showed me some of these numbers of what Canada is charging the United States.”
