Trump’s trade tactics are on a collision course with his reelection campaign as Republicans decry the tariffs the president loves
By Toluse Olorunnipa and Toluse Olorunnipa White House reporter Email Bio Follow Seung Min Kim Seung Min Kim White House reporter Email Bio Follow May 7 at 7:50 PM President Trump’s aggressive trade policies are running headlong into his campaign for reelection.
However, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow are among a group of Trump aides who have encouraged the president to reach a deal with China quickly and avoid political blowback from a full-scale trade war in 2020, according to people familiar with the internal debate.
Some Democratic presidential candidates are using turbulence around the trade talks to needle Trump and try to undercut his messaging on the economy. “The Trade Deal with China continues, but too slowly, as they attempt to renegotiate,” Trump tweeted Sunday, after threatening to levy tariffs on all imports of Chinese goods. “No!”
Republican lawmakers have increasingly voiced concerns to the White House about the president’s trade policy and the impact of tariffs on their states. “I just think he believes that farmers are going to be with him because they think he’s doing the right thing,” Thune said. “And by and large, that’s true. But when you start losing the farm, that calculation starts to change a little bit.”
Trump’s campaign advisers expressed confidence that the president’s trade policies will help him connect with voters in Rust Belt states that have lost manufacturing jobs to China. One official said Trump is aware that he needs a deal before 2020 to hold on to support from farmers in the Midwest.
