to crack down on illegal immigration, especially with ratification of the new USMCA, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, pending in Congress.
"The weaponization of tariffs — the increase of threats on our economy, on our farmers, our manufacturers, our consumers — is going to hurt our country. It also creates uncertainty with our trading partners," said Brilliant, suggesting the Mexico situation might send the wrong message to China that the U.S., even if it makes a trade deal as in the case of the USMCA, may still come back later and hold tariffs over their heads. "The world is watching," he added.
Shortly after Brillant's interview, Trump called into "Squawk Box" to argue his case for why tariffs are effective. The president also blasted the Chamber of Commerce. Trump told CNBC on Monday that the business group protects corporate America not the American people. The president also said tariffs allow the U.S. to level the playing field, claiming he believes that China will make a deal with the U.S."If we didn't have tariffs we wouldn't have made a deal with Mexico," Trump also said, touting the agreement he announced late Friday on the ways Mexico promised to help stop migrants from entering the U.S.

he's abusing his power every day.
If Trump resigns the markets will boom💵💰
Chamber of Commerce suffers from myopic, short- term greed view. Ignores long-term consequences of tariffs China was charging before Trump levied tariffs on Chinese. Be great if NBC tried to be honest news broker.
Are you sure it isn't congresses hate for President Trump. Congress has weaponized America's justice system. FACT
3 week outages near universities are truly a weapon which needs regulation and tax for damages to spines from overheat of roof sun 5 blocks from campus, / only one week every where else in town. Unfair repair management.
Disagree... If u have a different idea, great!
This is the we are serious stage. The object is to get straight to realistic negotiations in the future; instead of, the US always surrenders, we can wait them out.
'weaponization of tariffs' will hurt the economy but not his global and American business interests.
Shh. Let it happen.
When a repub president lose the U S Chamber of Commerce you are in trouble.
