CNBC “Squawk Box”co-host Joe Kernen was not having it when Biden administration Commerce Secretary and Harris campaign surrogate Gina Raimondo delivered a series of false statements Monday about the economy under former President Donald Trump.
Raimondo first zeroed in on Trump’s tariff policy, saying he now wants to place them on “all imports” if re-elected.
“I mean, that’s insane. That will raise prices on everything for everyone,” she said.
Trump has called for reciprocal trade, meaning if countries impose tariffs or other unfair trade practices on the U.S. products, they will meet the same policy for their goods coming into the U.S.
