BREAKING🚨 Man in charge of tariffs DESTROYED on live TV

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer was in the middle of his testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee when President Donald Trump announced that he was pausing his new tariffs on most nations for 90 days. The president also announced he was raising tariffs on Chinese imports to 125%. Minutes later, Rep. Steven Horsford, D-Nev., asked Greer whether he knew this pause was under discussion. He blasted the Trump official for either withholding information about the incoming strategy or being completely unaware of it. “W-T-F! Who’s in charge?” Horsford exclaimed. “It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you and paused the tariffs, the taxes on the American people. There’s no strategy. You just found out three seconds ago, sitting here, we saw you,” he added. Greer defended his testimony, saying that he doesn’t disclose his conversations with the president. “These are real consequences for the American people and small businesses. I had a group of small businesses in my office earlier today talking about the impacts of these tariffs on aluminum and steel. This is amateur hour, and it needs to stop,” the lawmaker responded. Horsford detailed some of the effects for American consumers from the recent market turmoil caused by the threat of major global tariffs — including losses to retirement funds and college savings funds, and consequences for small businesses. “If it was a plan, if it was always the plan, how is this not market manipulation?” Horsford asked. “It's not market manipulation, sir,” Greer said. “It is not a strategy,” Horsford added. “We're trying to reset the global trade system,” Greer responded. Trump said in his Truth Social post that he was authorizing a pause because more than 75 countries had reached out to negotiate trade deals, and that those countries had not retaliated against his moves. The president also said he was lowering reciprocal tariffs to 10% for those countries “effective immediately.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called Trump’s global trade war a “successful negotiating strategy” in remarks at the White House after the announcement.

Rep. Steven Horsford (D-NV) grilled U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Wednesday after news broke while he was testifying that the president was pausing his reciprocal tariffs for 90 days. “Did you know that this was under discussion? And why did you not include that as part of your opening remarks?” Rep. Horsford asked. “So, typically what I don’t do is divulge the contents of my discussions…,” Amb. Greer replied before some more back and forth with the congressman calling it “amateur hour.” #tariffs #houseofrepresentatives #cspan

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Thursday decried a federal trade court’s ruling that invalidated many of President Trump’s tariffs and called on the Supreme Court to intervene. “There is a troubling and dangerous trend of unelected judges inserting themselves into the presidential decision-making process,” she told reporters. “America cannot function if President Trump, or any other president for that matter, has their sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations railroaded by activist judges.” On Wednesday, a three-judge panel on the Court of International Trade — comprised of judges appointed by Presidents Trump, Obama and Reagan — said the president exceeded his legal authority by imposing his “reciprocal” tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Ms. Leavitt maintained the president’s rationale for imposing the tariffs under the IEEPA, which is meant to address “unusual and extraordinary” threats during a national emergency, was “legally sound and grounded in common sense.” “President Trump correctly believes that America cannot function safely long-term if we are unable to scale advanced domestic manufacturing capacity, have our own secure critical supply chains, and our defense industrial base is dependent on foreign adversaries,” she said. “Ultimately, the Supreme Court must put an end to this for the sake of our Constitution,” she added. #trump #tariffs #karolineleavitt #cspan
