2:13Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump is defending his use of tariffs just one day before his Aug. 1 deadline.
"Tariffs are making America GREAT & RICH Again," Trump wrote on his conservative social media platform. "They were successfully used against the USA for decades and, coupled with really dumb, pathetic, and crooked politicians, we're having a devastating impact on the future, and even the survival, of our country. Now the tide has completely turned, and America has successfully countered this onslaught of Tariffs used against it."
