Lutnick drops a $1.2 TRILLION truth bomb on CNN - why Trump is using tariffs

NEW: “It’s just unsustainable” — Lutnick drops a $1.2 TRILLION truth bomb on CNN and explains why Trump is using tariffs to fight back.

Dana Bash tried to challenge the Trump administration’s entire tariff strategy.

But Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick didn’t back down—he brought the receipts.

“America has a $1.2 trillion trade deficit.”

“That means other people are selling US goods, more than we are selling them. And that’s just not balanced. It’s not fair.”

Then he named the biggest culprit:

“We’re losing $1.2 trillion a year, of which directly and indirectly to China. That’s about $1 trillion.”

And here’s the kicker CNN didn’t want to hear:

“It’s just unsustainable for $1.2 trillion to be exported to the rest of the world… it’s building them up, and over time it’s taking us down.”

That’s why, Lutnick explained, Trump is drawing the line.

“The idea is the president wants balanced and fair trade, and tariffs are the tool to create balanced and fair trade.” - Vigilant Fox Post https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/1921569546189615203
