Republican backlash is growing against President Trump’s $12 billion plan to help American farmers feeling the pain of the escalating trade war. Several GOP lawmakers criticized the aid for farmers, calling it a bailout. Director of the National Economic Council, Larry Kudlow, joins “CBS This Morning” from Washington to discuss why President Trump’s tariffs are not to blame for the escalating trade war with China and the “very unfair trading practices” Mr. Trump inherited when he became president.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow says "don’t blame" Trump for trade war
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — President Trump is rolling out a plan to spend billions to help farmers caught in the middle of a trade war. “China charges us when we make a car, 25 percent tariff. We charge them two and a half percent, other than that it’s a great idea,” said Trump. At a Veterans of Foreign Wars event in Kansas City, Missouri, President Trump touted his reasons for imposing tariffs on countries abroad, but now he will financially help out farmers who will suffer under the tariffs. The administration is ready to roll out billions of dollars in relief. U.S. agricultural exports have been the prime target of China and other countries retaliating against Trump’s tariffs. However, the president insists farmers will do well in the end. “The farmers will be the biggest beneficiaries. Watch we’re opening up markets you watch what’s going to happen–just be a little patient, they are all aiming at anybody that likes me,” said Trump. Earlier in the day, the president sounded off on social media. “Tariffs are the greatest! Either a country which has treated the United States unfairly on Trade negotiates a fair deal, or it gets hit with Tariffs. It’s as simple as that – and everybody’s talking! Remember, we are the “piggy bank” that’s being robbed. All will be Great!” Trump tweeted. Tariffs are the greatest!

Remember, we are the “piggy bank” that’s being robbed. All will be Great! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 24, 2018 Some Republicans in states with a major automotive industry are not 100 percent on board. “Tariffs are not great. But the fact of the matter is trying to find a way to better position American workers for the future is a laudable goal,” said Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina. “I’m very concerned that Russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming Election. Based on the fact that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely don’t want Trump!” the president also tweeted this morning. I’m very concerned that Russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming Election. Based on the fact that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely don’t want Trump! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 24, 2018 “Well that’s the President’s jujitsu, political action the reality of it Vladimir Putin knows he hit the lottery when he pursued undermining our elections in 2016,” said Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ). On another front the president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, announced she was shutting down her fashion company , releasing a statement which said, in part, “After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington. There is speculation she wants to pursue a career in public policy.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Ivanka Trump is shutting down her clothing company and laying off 18 employees after some stores dropped her line and she decided ethics restrictions were holding back its ability to grow. The president’s daughter said in statement she made the decision to focus more on work as a White House adviser. “After 17 months in Washington, I do not know when or if I will ever return to the business, but I do know that my focus for the foreseeable future will be the work I am doing here in Washington,” she said, “so making this decision now is the only fair outcome for my team and partners.” Ivanka Trump has recently been encouraging U.S. companies to pledge to hire American workers. Her company has been criticized for using Chinese workers abroad to make its products. Opinions about the brand have become highly polarized and it has faced boycotts from anti-Trump protesters. With sales flagging by some measures, Nordstrom dropped the Ivanka Trump line last year and recently Hudson Bay reportedly did the same. The company has also come under criticism from ethics experts for trademarks granted by foreign governments such as China that would want to curry favor with the president. Analyst Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, said that “while the company is still viable, doing business has become far more challenging and these problems will only increase.” The bulk of Ivanka Trump’s assets —more than $50 million worth — was contained in a trust that holds her business and corporations. That trust generated over $5 million in revenue last year, according to a financial disclosure report filed with the government. When Ivanka Trump joined the White House as adviser to her father, she stepped aside from running her company and agreed to several restrictions so that her financial interest in the business would not conflict with her public role as a White House adviser. Still, the company drew criticism for benefiting from their White House ties. In April last year, the Chinese government granted her company provisional approval for three new trademarks, the same day she and her husband Jared Kushner dined with the president of China and his wife at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Ivanka Trump’s brand has said the 2017 Chinese trademarks were filed defensively to protect against squatters using her name. China has said its trademarks policy regarding Ivanka Trump’s company is in line with normal legal practice. The Ivanka Trump brand has also come under criticism for conditions at factories where its products were made in China. The Associated Press spoke with workers last year at an Ivanka Trump shoe factory in Ganzhou, China, who described long hours, low pay and abuse. The company said at the time that the “integrity” of its supply chain was a “top priority” and that it takes such allegations “very seriously.” (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.
