Ben Sasse slams Trump's "kooky 18th century protectionism"
Source: Axios
Axios 39 mins ago
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska) responds to Trump's "trade wars are good" tweet:
"Trade wars are never won. Trade wars are lost by both sides. Kooky 18th century protectionism will jack up prices on American families -- and will prompt retaliation from other countries. Make no mistake: If the President goes through with this, it will kill American jobs -- that's what every trade war ultimately does. So much losing."
