Senator Bernie Sanders has become one of the most famous Trump critics of the nation. The Senate is organizing a Voting A-Rama this weekend to try to pass the tax cuts for the rich budget, so Next weekend with a stop in Los Angeles, approx.
In the meantime, the independent Senator from Vermont has some things to say about Trump's trade war.
Sen. Sanders said in a statement:
As someone who headed the efforts against catastrophic, unrestricted free trade shops with China, Mexico and other low -wage countries, I understand that we need trading policy, the American workers, not only the CEOs of large companies. And that includes targeted tariffs that can be a powerful instrument to prevent companies from stored by American jobs and factories abroad. Conclusion: We need a rational, well thought -out and fair trade policy. Trump's general tariffs are not the right way to do this. We do not need a flat rate and arbitrary sales tax for imported goods that increase the prices for products that the American people urgently need. We should do everything we can to lower prices and not make them incredibly higher.
Next and above is what Trump does illegally and another step towards authoritarianism. When he drives his tariffs, he surprises the authority of the congress and raises existing agreements according to “emergency regulations” – if there are no real emergencies. In other words, it is integrating more and more power into his own hands. This is unacceptable.
