() The Trump administration is trending in a positive direction following its temporary trade deal with China, according to Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y.
Lawler joined ” Now” to discuss the United States’ 90-day trade deal with China and the administration’s broader approach to tariffs.
“My view is, the president and the administration are making positive steps forward,” he said.
Lawler said the tariffs always made sense as a negotiation tool to “force these other countries that have been fleecing Americans for years with bad trade practices and policies.”
Following the temporary trade deal with China, the Dow Jones leapt 1,100 points, and the S&P 500 rallied 3.3%.
“I am sure, in short order, we will see Japan, India, Vietnam, Canada and Mexico and the EU make significant concessions, which is to the benefit of the American people and the American economy,” Lawler added.
