CNN)US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Wednesday criticized the Trump administration's tariffs on China and voiced support for lifting some of the levies, in part to ease very high inflation pressuring the US economy.

"Some of the tariffs that were imposed by President Trump in retaliation for China's unfair trade practices, some of them, to me, seem as though they imposed more harm on consumers and businesses," Yellen said during a press conference in Germany ahead of a G7 summit with finance ministers.

“Higher energy prices, higher food prices and other commodity prices, due to Putin’s choice to launch a war in Ukraine” are responsible for much of the inflation around the world, she added.” Nonsense. This woman is a buffoon, a deep state clown.

Lack of protective tariffs have seen industry after industry leave the US, and that’s a lot of jobs.

How many people have been hurt by job outsourcing. How many people were hurt because we are depending on China for PPE, Medicines, computer chips, etc.

I guess you don’t count as a consumer, once your job has been outsourced and you’re now flipping hamburgers and not consuming much.

Lifting tariffs on China will harm Uyghur families but not Uyghur businesses because they aren’t allowed to have businesses in China.
