Vice President Kamala Harris criticized former President Donald Trump's approach to tariffs during an interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle. Harris expressed concern over Trump's proposal to impose large tariffs on corporations that move their operations out of the United States. She emphasized that such policies need careful consideration, saying, "You don’t just throw around the idea of tariffs across the board."

Harris argued that Trump's approach lacked seriousness and planning, stating that decisions on tariffs should be based on their economic impact on everyday people. She highlighted the need for a detailed strategy, rather than rhetoric from political rallies, to assess the real return on investment.

At recent rallies, Trump has advocated for tariffs as high as 100% or 200% on companies relocating outside the U.S.

Harris’s comments came after she delivered a speech at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, where she discussed proposals to strengthen the middle class. The interview, filmed in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, is part of her efforts to close the polling gap with Trump on economic issues.

This interview with MSNBC marks a rare media appearance for Harris, who has been selective in participating in national interviews since becoming the Democratic nominee. She previously participated in events with Oprah Winfrey and CNN's Dana Bash, focusing on issues like economic growth and voter engagement.
