Senate Debate on Small Business Tariff Exemptions: Edward Markey vs. Bernie Moreno

Published | Video Starts at 16:40

The President hasn't targeted just China. He's imposed these tariffs all across the world. All across the world, every country. And yeah, the legislation that we have, it doesn't touch the steel tariffs that are imposed. We don't touch those. They can stay in place. (16:40–16:52)
