On Tuesday's broadcast of CNBC's "Mad Money," Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo responded to a question on auto tariffs with China put in place by the Trump administration and using raising it to ensure American automakers have an even field or lowering it as a carrot or stick to change China's behavior by stating that "We didn't put those tariffs in place. We don't think they make a whole lot of sense, in many cases." And "China's practices of subsidizing their businesses have hurt U.S. workers. So, we need a level playing field. Having said that, I think the Trump tariffs could've been much more strategic," Raimondo also argued that "not decoupling our economy is critical, not just for our economy, but for our national security."
