Trump has proposed high tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada. Mexico and Canada account for the United States’ first and third largest suppliers of agricultural products, according to the Departure of Agriculture.
Asked by NBC’s Welker if he could guarantee Americans won’t pay more because of tariffs, Trump demurred. “I am unable to provide any guarantees.
I can’t guarantee tomorrow,” he said before going on to claim that before the coronavirus pandemic he had the “greatest economy in the history of our country.”
