“WASHINGTON — Energy Secretary Rick Perry said Monday that he's trying to "raise some warning flags" about President Donald Trump's aggressive trade agenda to make sure "we don't shoot a bullet that goes through the intended target and hits whoever is standing behind it."
The former Texas governor, long a proponent of free trade, highlighted particular concern over how Trump's tariffs on imported steel and aluminum could affect the American energy industry.
Perry said the U.S. must "make sure we don't put a tariff in place that is so broad that, yeah, we may try to bring China back in line to be a fair trader, but in doing that, we affect folks who are really important to the domestic steel production capability" for pipelines and other infrastructure.”
Glad to see someone in the cabint speaking up. I?m not a fan of Rick Perry, but I applaud his courage in speaking up. Too bad the others are not so courageous about this and a multitude of issues.
