NEC Director Kevin Hassett praised Q3 4.3% GDP growth on Tuesday morning; the strongest in two years. Hassett says the stronger-than-expected report is evidence that Trump’s trade policies are working.
Hassett stopped by both CNN and CNBC to celebrate the good news.
“It’s really a fantastic number, and it’s a great Christmas present for the American people,” Hassett said. “President Trump’s trade agenda is working.”
