Conservative tax policy expert Mattie Duppler warned against the use of
tariffs in an interview on Wednesday after President Trump threatened to
raise them on China.

"The problem with tariffs is they are a blunt instrument," Duppler, a
senior fellow at the National Taxpayers Union, told Hill.TV's Krystal
Ball and Buck Sexton on "Rising."

"They do not necessarily accomplish specific political gains, especially
in this environment, where we've seen the president emerge claiming
victory, and the Chinese government saying another thing entirely," she
continued.

Trump has touted a ceasefire he said had been reached in the U.S. trade
war with China during a meeting with President Xi Jinping last week in
Argentina. However, the details of the agreement remain unclear.

The president warned China in a tweet on Tuesday that he could raise
tariffs if Beijing did not agree to alter its trade practices.

I'm glad we finally have a president with the balls to fix the massive
trade imbalance with China.

He wont, you watch.
