Tariffs will leverage the US consumer to win a strategic advantage in the world.
That’s the analysis offered by GAI vice president Eric Eggers, who said President Donald Trump is “not messing around.”
In a conversation with Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty, Eggers framed tariffs as a strategic move to leverage the purchasing power of the American consumer to reset global trade dynamics. Eggers argues Trump’s 90-day tariff move pressures countries such as China, Vietnam, and others to negotiate fairer deals. He rebuts media claims of recession risks that ignored Biden-era economic woes. They highlight Trump’s focus on Main Street over Wall Street, contrasting past leaders’ inaction with his decisive accountability push.
