Bernie destroy's Trump's trade representative Jamieson Greer about the lies to justify tariffs. - FIVE MINUTE NEWS



Bernie Sanders explains the Trump's unfettered power is authortariansim as the regime claims Congress has granted the executive branch the authority to use emergency powers to impose tariffs in support of their isolationist agenda. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer defended the policy before the Senate Finance Committee in a hearing on Tuesday.

Greer, testifying for the first time in his new role, said, “Congress told him what he has to do to use the emergency powers act — and he is using that authority.”

Trump used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose 10% tariffs on most countries we trade with and higher reciprocal tariffs on others, which go into effect on Wednesday. - 04/11/2025.

"I'm imposing a tariff on smuggled goods!"
"Um, sir, we don't know what goods are successfully smuggled into the country. We only know about the smuggling we caught and stopped."
"Well, find out everything we don't know!"
