The Daily · More Trump Tariffs Are Coming · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

There were these kind of instinctual things that the American population is feeling that Trump tapped into, and he called on Lighthizer, and Lighthizer brought together a team to really implement and attack these issues that the president had detected personally, but also in the U.S.

population.

So it was a popular message.

I keep using these words like population and popular.

We're populists.

It was very important to the president, and we understood it was important to the president, to move very quickly.

Because in our view, this was an emergency.

Our trade deficit exploded by 40% in the five years before President Trump's second term.

It was $1.2 trillion at the end of 2024.

This is crazy.

So for us, this is an emergency because that deficit represents jobs and production going overseas that could be here.

So the president declared an emergency.

We set tariffs as soon as we could.

We set them in a way that could really set a strong market signal that production needs to come back to the U.S.

And then it resulted in all these deals, which opened markets overseas.

So I think it was critical and important that we used this statute because we were responding to an emergency.

We had to move very, very quickly.

And we had a lot of good outcomes from doing it.

Well, I take a broader perspective on this.

I mean, we've had the same trade policy from like post-World War II until the middle of President Trump's first term, right?
