Interview with Congressman Mark Pocan on Trump's Tariffs and Economic Impact

Published | Video Starts at 01:40

And We got the increase on some goods that came from China, but I noticed we also got it on some American made products. And that's part of, of course, what you would expect to happen in a free market.
