Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Outlines Global Impact and Response from USA Tariff Hammer [Great News!]
The Last Refuge ^ | March 12, 2025 | Sundance

Posted on 03/12/2025 9:30:20 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick appears on CBS News to outline how the MAGAnomic tariff program immediately creates positive outcomes when President Trump identifies the specific targets.

As Lutnick appropriately notes, the EU has received one-way tariff benefit since the creation of the Marshal Plan in 1945. President Trump is on track to finally end this exfiltration of American wealth. Lutnick cuts through the nonsense and delivers a very non-pretending reality as he outlines how Canada doesn’t stop fentanyl, and Mexico doesn’t stop migration caravans.

This is an excellent explanatory outline of how President Trump paints the target, then Commerce Secretary Lutnick supports the targeting, and how foreign nations immediately respond to change their approach. WATCH:

As we are notice today, for the first time since last year the Consumer Price Index now shows inflation slowing rapidly [CPI DATA HERE] as basic essential prices on energy and gasoline are dropping rapidly and all downstream products start dropping in sequence.

Here is our current status after one month: – mortgage rates are down – egg prices are down – gas prices are down – overall inflation dropping – illegal immigration stopped at the border – wages going up – foreign aid shut down – woke initiatives being removed – massive manufacturing investments ongoing.

Hey, it’s winning folks, and it has only just begun. Lutnick is absolutely correct.

It depends on the country.

The specter of high tariffs against China reportedly drove Apple to make a huge investment in Texas.

That is an excellent use of tariffs.

The specter of high tariffs against Mexico reportedly drove Honda to make a huge investment in Indiana.

That is an excellent use of tariffs.

The tariff war between America and Canada, however, is damaging the economies of both America and Canada and needs to end immediately.

There should be no tariffs between America and Canada.

“There should be no tariffs between America and Canada.”

I agree 100%.

The US and Canada have similar wage and legal environments.

“Canada doesn’t stop fentanyl”

The only way to stop fentanyl is to legalize opiate prescriptions to known addicts.

The ‘War on Drugs’ has been lost.

Looks like winning...

Watched the 27 minute conversation on the Last Refuge site. Great stuff. Lutnick is a terrific champion of what Trump is doing.

The CBS interview asked tough questions, but was cordial and fair.

The Trump team is flooding the zone. They are communicating with the American peopled CONSTANTLY! It’s a impressive tour de force that’s going to keep the American people behind the President.

Lutnick is terrific.

And your approach has already been shown to fail miserably.
