Trump's Manufacturing Jobs Success vs. China.
News
This article, written by Robert Lighthizer, responds to an op-ed by Phil Gramm and Donald Boudreaux criticizing Trump's trade policy. Lighthizer argues that Gramm and Boudreaux fail to acknowledge China's role in the manufacturing dilemma and the negative impact of favoring China on American jobs and national security. Lighthizer highlights that under Trump, manufacturing jobs increased and median family income rose. He also disputes the claim that steel tariffs hurt downstream jobs and criticizes the writers for bringing up unrelated issues like the sugar program. [Extracted from the article]
