Vance touts tariffs as a needed "total shift" for the US economy

From CNN’s Kit Maher

Vice President JD Vance said the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump signed on Wednesday are “a big change,” but a necessary one, railing against a “globalist economy” that has caused the United States to incur “a huge amount of debt to buy things that other countries make for us.”

“We borrow money from Chinese peasants to buy the things those Chinese peasants manufacture. That is not a recipe for economic prosperity. It’s not a recipe for low prices, and it’s not a recipe for good jobs in the United States of America,” Vance told “Fox & Friends.”

“Right now, President Trump is taking this economy in a different direction. He ran on that. He promised it, and now he’s delivering,” Vance continued. “Yes, this is a big change. I’m not going to shy away from it, but we needed a big change.”

Vance said while the administration is “fighting very hard” to lower prices, change wouldn’t happen overnight. He also seemed to suggest that high prices would be the result of inflation inherited from the Biden administration, rather than these new actions taken by Trump in office.

As Republicans pursue a tax bill as part of Trump’s agenda, Vance said he wouldn’t view the tax cuts as a means to “offset” the tariffs, rather a “total shift” in economic policy that will reward American workers and companies.

Bringing up his own background growing up poor in Ohio and Kentucky, Vance acknowledged how Americans are concerned about the cost of living.

“I grew up in a family that often did live paycheck to paycheck, and we know a lot of Americans are worried, so we are fighting very hard to bring prices down,” Vance said.
