Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) voiced agreement with some of President Trump’s trade policies during a Wednesday speech from Washington, but she warned against his use of sweeping tariffs.
“These last few days have been tough for Michigan,” Whitmer said, noting the state’s automobile industry and international border with Canada.
Trump’s trade war intensified Wednesday after China announced a new 50 percent tariff on U.S. exports, bringing its total new tariff on U.S. goods to 84 percent. The European Union also announced 25 percent tariffs on a wide range of U.S. products Wednesday.
