MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker says he has few concerns with President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
“Donald Trump negotiates by taking the strongest, hardest position one way, and so I’m convinced that what was announced last week in the White House is not going to be the permanent policy in the United States when it comes to tariffs. If you look at the track record, I actually think he is a free trader,” Walker said.
Walker spoke Monday night at Grainger Hall on the UW Madison campus. The event was hosted by Young America’s Foundation, of which Walker serves as president.
Afterwards he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he has no plans to run for governor next year, but doesn’t rule out a run after that.
