Former Vice President Mike Pence rebuked Trump over his tariff plan in a post on X.
“The Trump Tariff Tax is the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history. These Tariffs are nearly 10x the size of those imposed during the Trump-Pence Administration and will cost American families over $3,500 per year,” Pence said on Wednesday night without citing any specific source.
Pence has often held off from criticizing Trump by name since he left office. However, his organization, Advancing American Freedom, had already been criticizing tariffs from the new administration.
