'IT'S TIME FOR RECIPROCITY': Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt Shares List Of ‘Unfair’ Tariffs Targeting American Products [WATCH]

On Monday, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt schooled reporters outside the White House on some unfair trade policies that other countries enforce.

Leavitt said, “It’s time for reciprocity” regarding international trade.

“If you look at the unfair trade practices that we have: 50% from the European Union on American dairy. You have a 700% tariff from Japan on American rice. You have a 100% tariff from India on American agricultural products. You have nearly a 300% tariff from Canada on American butter and American cheese,” Leavitt said, holding up a chart on a piece of paper. “This makes it virtually impossible for American products to be imported into these markets, and it puts a lot of Americans out of business and out of work over the past several decades.”

“Unfortunately, these countries have been ripping off our country for far too long,” the press secretary added. “And they’ve made their disdain, I think, for the American worker quite clear.”
