1:16Now PlayingVice President JD Vance defended President Trump’s tariff approach on Friday, saying the US government needs to “fight back” against countries like China who use “literal slaves” in their factories to make cheap goods.
The VP, an Ohio native, noted his rural American background as he spoke at a plastics factory in Michigan, speaking to local residents and business owners about the need to produce in the US — and not offshore labor to foreign countries like China, which has forced Uyghur Muslims make products that are later exported to the US.
He said foreign countries “use slave labor that undercuts the wages of American workers” and that American leadership over the past 40 years “refused to fight back” against “literal slaves” making “stuff cheaply” and importing into the US.
