LARRY KUDLOW: The markets applaud Trump's reciprocal tariffs

Published On Feb 13, 2025, 6:00 PM

Larry Kudlow discusses President Trump's implementation of reciprocal tariffs, which means that if countries impose taxes on US goods, the US will do the same. This policy aims to create a fairer trading environment for American workers and to combat longer-standing unfair trade practices from various countries that have higher tariffs than the US. Kudlow believes these tariffs could be counter-inflationary by pressuring foreign exporters to reduce their prices in order to maintain their market shares in the US.
