The media and the Left don’t want to talk about inflation, but they do want to talk about tariffs.

Dr. St. Onge says, “For decades the EU has weaponized tariffs, including extorting billions from small neighbors like Norway for market access. They’re gangsters. And they’re upset Trump isn’t putting up with it anymore.”

President Trump has responded.
