WH Press Sec Spars With Reporter On Impact Of Trump Tariffs

Leavitt: "Ultimately, when we have fair and balanced trade which the American people have not seen in decades ... revenues will stay here. Wages will go up. And our country will be made wealthy again. And I think it's insulting that you are trying to test my knowledge of economics and the decisions this president has made."

"Ultimately, when we have fair and balanced trade which the American people have not seen in decades ... "

Have not seen in decades? Hmm, someone needs to ask Leavitt, Trump and Republicans in general if this includes "the largest, most significant, modern, and balanced trade agreement in history" which Trump himself negotiated and bragged about just 5 years ago:

President Donald J. Trump's United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Delivers a Historic Win for American Workers
January 29, 2020

"The USMCA is the largest, most significant, modern, and balanced trade agreement in history. All of our countries will benefit greatly."
President Donald J. Trump

DELIVERING ON HIS PROMISE: President Donald J. Trump is replacing the outdated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
