Maria Bartiromo Quotes

What you do to China is you say if you don't behave we're going to have to start taxing your goods coming into our country.

Tariffs are in the end taxes. And somebody has to pay that tax. I think one thing people are forgetting is that trade disputes are two-sided.

And at that point, you have to ask the question, - which U.S. industry will suffer because the Canadians retaliated against it?

Jobs is the one area where I think Donald Trump is striking a chord that really resonates and should resonate. Both parties need to do a better job of rejecting poorly negotiated trade agreements.
