President Trump’s tariff strategy continues to make waves across the globe, especially in Washington.
While he recently paused tariffs for Canada and Mexico, he has imposed them on China and continues threatening other countries.
Trump’s tough tactics have sparked concerns about a larger trade war, which economists say would further increase the prices of essential items like food.
Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture, Kip Tom, joined host Dave Anthony this week to discuss Trump’s tariffs and how they will impact farmers like him and grocery bills.
While Torn acknowledged that the cost of produce and other foods would go up temporarily if tariffs were imposed on Mexico, Canada, and other nations, he also said the American agriculture community and the economy would benefit long-term if Trump’s tariff strategy worked.
Torn discusses how America is already too reliant on other countries for its food supply and vital products for its production and why this can be a serious national security problem. He also thinks Trump’s strategy could bring more manufacturing back home and ensure that America grows the food it needs.
Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former Ambassador Kip Torn. This will allow you to hear more about Trump’s tariff strategy, how it can impact food prices, and why he says more focus should be on strengthening America’s food supply.
