Sen. Ron Johnson:
Well, obviously a 5 percent decrease in the markets would heighten my concern. I would assume that got the president and his advisers’ attention as well.
But at the same time, it’s interesting as I talk to manufacturers and farmers in Wisconsin that they agree with what President Trump is trying to accomplish here. They realize that we have not been treated fairly by our trading partners. They realize that there are many crucial and vital products that are vital to our national security that we don’t manufacture here, and in some way, shape, or form, we’re going to have to reshore them.
So they agree with what President Trump’s trying to accomplish, but I think everybody’s kind of bracing to see what the fallout and really how painful this experience is going to be.
