Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Donald Trump’s calls for broad tariff hikes on Wednesday, saying the former president is “just not very serious about how he thinks” about the matter.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday criticized Donald Trump’s calls for broad tariff hikes, saying the former president is “just not very serious about how he thinks” about the matter. “You don’t just throw around the idea of just tariffs across the board. And that’s part of the problem with Donald Trump,” Harris told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle in a brief clip previewing an interview set to air later Wednesday. In clips of the same interview, however, Harris declined to answer how she would achieve some of her own economic plans. Harris has faced criticism for rarely sitting for interviews and holding news conferences. Her campaign has slowly ramped up the frequency of her unscripted — but often friendly — appearances, often targeting minority voters and swing-state audiences. On Wednesday, she attacked Trump for not having a plan on tariffs that goes beyond a “talking point.” Trump has said he would slap steep tariffs on companies that don’t manufacture their goods in the United States, raising hundreds of billions of dollars that the former president says would be used to help the American people. He has floated a 200% tariff on auto imports from Mexico, as well as another tariff upward of 60% on all Chinese imports.
