💨 Abstract

Kevin Hassett, White House Economic Council Director, defended President Trump's tariffs, stating they prompted over 50 countries to initiate new trade negotiations with the US. He claimed the tariffs would not significantly impact US consumers as many countries bear the brunt. Trump's announced tariffs, effective from April 2, are aimed at addressing unfair trade practices and encouraging countries to lower tariffs against the US.
