Breitbart: Trade Rep. Defends China Tariffs: U.S. Should Break 'Addiction' to Free Trade
The US Trade Representative Katherine Tai defended the country's tariffs on Chinese products, highlighting the need to break the addiction to free trade policies that have contributed to America's suffering.

She further emphasized that the focus should be on creating a balance in the economic relationship between the countries to address the challenge posed by China.
Former USTR Robert Lighthizer backed Tai's nomination and remarked that President Joe Biden's team has followed the populist trade agenda initiated by the Trump administration against the free trade consensus in Washington.
