Rep Nunn on President Trump's visit to Iowa

Published | Video Starts at 05:47

Yeah, I think you look at a country like Vietnam, they had a 95% tariff on the United States for decades. This wasn't something that just happened a year ago. This has been there, I mean, since I was born. We had the opportunity with President Trump and Congress's action to drive that [Vietnam's tariff] down to zero, and that happened within 24 hours. So I think when the president talks about trade parity, it means other countries not putting arbitrary restrictions on what an Iowa farmer, manufacturer, or Iowan can buy or sell. (05:47–05:53)

CLAIM

Asserts that Vietnam's tariff on the United States was reduced to zero within 24 hours due to actions by President Trump and Congress.
