After officially enacting new tariffs against China on Tuesday, President Biden told Yahoo Finance in an exclusive interview that he hopes to protect...

that he hopes to protect American workers and industry from China's manufacturing over-capacities that are widely regarded as anticompetitive and unfair.

Well, we can look back decades where the industrial Midwest basically was hollowed out because of these unfair trade practices where China would uh basically dump uh aluminum or steel in great quantities at cheap prices to undermine an entire market in the US.And so you had steel workers who uh had secure employment for for decades and then found themselves out of a job and go industry by industry.

I put this uh to the president in the brief time that we had under his watch, more than 15 million jobs.But yet households don't feel they don't feel wealthy.It takes time and this country seems to pivot back and forth.

Um we're seeing uh good union jobs, you know, it's one thing to create jobs, but to have good jobs where people can actually make a living, provide for their families is a whole separate story. And in order to do that, we need a level playing field using these tariffs as a tool, Liz before you um let you go here or the White House asked us to leave whatever happens first.Of course, I'm looking at what happened to the automakers in that battle for a higher pay and a better contract.

And you saw it today where you had companies and unions standing with the president to announce these tariffs because it's good for business and it's good for workers.
