A Conservative Case Against Liberation Day Tariffs

April 16, 2025 Isaac Gardner

Last week, President Trump announced “Liberation Day” and imposed tariffs on nearly every country, with a base 10% tariff and “reciprocal” tariffs for individual countries.

Its no secret that China is the worlds factory. For many years, Western countries have outsourced manufacturing jobs to China in order to save money and reduce their production costs.
