CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Friday that many Americans support President Donald Trump ’s trade war with China, but contended that their voices are being drowned out.
“We simply, as a people, seem to be united that the president’s position is wrong. I hear more of that on TV than I hear reality. I think that there are a lot of people [who say], ‘Thank you for standing up for us,’” Cramer said on CNBC.
Just after midnight on Friday, the United States and China exchanged $34 billion worth of tariffs. The American duties affect products such as water boilers, X-ray machine components, airplane tires and various other industrial parts. The Chinese targets include soybeans, pork and electric vehicles.
Cramer, the host of “ Mad Money,” contended the time is right for the president to engage China on trade because the U. S. economy is so strong.
„There are a lot of companies that are doing quite well in the country.
