Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump's proposed plan to increase tariffs on all foreign imports, stating that it reflects a lack of seriousness in his approach to economic issues. Harris made these remarks during an interview following her economic speech at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.
During the interview, Harris expressed her views on the use of tariffs in economic policy, specifically addressing Trump's suggestion of imposing tariffs of up to 20 percent on products entering the US. She characterized Trump's proposal as more of a political talking point rather than a well-thought-out plan.
Harris emphasized the importance of not indiscriminately applying tariffs across the board, highlighting what she perceives as a flaw in Trump's approach to economic matters. She pointed out that a serious economic strategy requires careful consideration of the potential return on investment and the impact on ordinary citizens.
According to Harris, Trump's tendency to rely on simplistic slogans and rally rhetoric undermines the need for thoughtful and comprehensive economic planning. She urged for a more thoughtful and strategic approach to economic policy that prioritizes the well-being of the American people.
