Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue told Fox News on Wednesday that President Trump's tariffs on imports from China, the European Union and other nations are "a little bit like weight loss ... it's kind of painful to start with, but you're healthier in the end." "And frankly, we’ve got barriers across the world, not just in China, but in the European Union. President Trump has shown no sign of stopping the use of tariffs as an economic weapon. If you want free trade let's have fair trade,'" Perdue said. They understand when people don’t play by the rules," Perdue said.
