Biden Hits Trump on Tariffs During Fiery Debate
Biden Criticizes Tariffs as Tax on Middle Class
Trump Defends Tariffs as Necessary for Economic Security
In a heated exchange during Thursday night's presidential debate, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump clashed over tariffs. Biden argued that tariffs were a tax on the middle class, while Trump defended them as necessary for protecting American jobs.
Biden pointed to the economic pain that tariffs had inflicted on American consumers and businesses. He argued that Trump's proposed 10% tariff on Chinese imports would only further increase prices for everyday goods.
Trump responded by accusing Biden of being a globalist who was willing to sacrifice American jobs to benefit foreign nations. He argued that tariffs were necessary to protect American businesses from unfair competition.
The debate over tariffs is likely to continue in the coming months as Biden and Trump jockey for support ahead of the November election.
