US tariffs on trading partners at some point last year hit their highest level since the 1930s.
You've said a lot on how the vision is to create jobs here in the US, particularly in manufacturing, but the data is quite mixed.
There hasn't really been a big boom in manufacturing jobs.
The number of jobs declined by about 60,000 between January when the president took office and July of this.
This year, although there has been an uptake of jobs in 2026, but your critics say that these jobs have mostly appeared in computer and electronic products, chips, other AI related sectors, and they're not the sort of manufacturing jobs that you talk about wanting to boost.
Do you think the tariffs are working and can you tell us why?
What do you think drove the loss of manufacturing jobs under Biden?
Just to pick up on the picking wins and losers and the kind of industrial policy that that Biden had, he did focus on green technologies, but the Trump administration has also talked about wanting to subsidize and help industries that you guys feel the US is too reliant on China for.
So could you talk a little bit about why you think that's different from the Biden industrial policy?
So just to to zoom out slightly, could you give us your quick summary of what your problem with China is?
Like what is the purpose of putting tariffs on China?
And I know that you probably have a really long and sophisticated answer, but what would be your brief pitch on that?
So I think that one of the reasons that trade is a really fun topic to cover is because it's also a political beat.
Coming into the midterms.
Is there a risk that trade gets brought down somewhat by broader unhappiness over the economy?
