Interview with Senator Ted Cruz on Texas School Choice, Tariffs, and Legislative Priorities

Published | Video Starts at 04:08

I think President Trump has a moment where he's got extraordinary leverage, leverage because of the tariffs that he's announced to negotiate and secure much lower tariffs from our trading partners around the world. There are over 130 nations who have come to the White House now saying we want to negotiate a deal, we want to lower our tariffs. And President Trump, if he negotiates lower tariff rates with all our trading partners, that will be an historic win for Texas and for the whole country. (04:08–04:15)
