Pence praises China tariffs during stop in New Hampshire
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Vice-President Mike Pence said Thursday that President Donald Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on goods imported from China was an effort to combat unfair trade practices.
Speaking hours after Trump fired a warning shot at Beijing, the vice-president said “the era of economic surrender is over.”
Pence’s remarks came Thursday at an event in New Hampshire hosted by the pro-Trump group America First Polices to highlight the new tax reform law.
He said that thanks to the tax measure, “American businesses and businesses here in New Hampshire can better compete with businesses anywhere in the world.”
