Part 1/7:
Trade Talk: Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Tom Cotton Discuss Tariffs and Global Economic Relations
In a recent discussion on "Special Report," Senator Bernie Sanders weighed in on tariffs and trade agreements, expressing his firm stance against unfettered free trade. Sanders articulated that imposing tariffs arbitrarily on every country without specific reasons is nonsensical and detrimental to U.S. consumers. Having resisted past initiatives like NAFTA and permanent normal trade relations, he criticized trade agreements crafted to benefit corporations at the expense of American workers. He advocates for selective tariffs aimed explicitly at protecting American jobs, as opposed to broad tariffs suggested by the Trump administration.
