Steve Moore made no apology and offered no equivocation on Newsmax’s American Agenda — if foreign governments are cheating American workers and producers, President Trump is done looking the other way. Moore told viewers that the administration’s tougher stance and reciprocal tariffs aren’t reckless bullying but a necessary reset after years of one-sided “free trade” that rewarded foreign mercantilism at the expense of American jobs.
Moore pointed to glaring examples where Canada’s tariff walls hit U.S. farmers and manufacturers with punitive levies, even on products the USMCA was supposed to open to free exchange. He argued those kinds of protections are the very definition of cheating and said Canada will have to bring down those barriers or lose vital access to the much larger U.S. market.
On the larger stage, Moore reminded viewers that China is the master of theft and evasion in trade deals, and that negotiating with a regime that lies and steals makes any agreement fragile at best. Tough talk and enforceable measures, he said, are the only way to bind these actors to real, verifiable behavior instead of paper promises that vanish the moment pressure eases.
Make no mistake: this is conservative patriotism in action — putting American industry and the middle class first, not global elites or multinational firms that ship jobs overseas. Moore even predicted that once unfair practices are stamped out and true reciprocity is restored, the U.S. economy will roar back with renewed manufacturing and investor confidence.
If politicians on either side of the aisle love cheap headlines more than American workers, they’ll whine about tariffs; real leaders will stand with the president and demand real, enforceable deals. The recent diplomacy with Canadian officials underscores that this administration is willing to test the tough approach and rewrite a rigged system — and conservatives should push every Republican congressman to back a policy that finally makes trade fair again for hardworking Americans.
