Former Vice President Mike Pence on Monday publicly broke with President Donald Trump over the administration's approach to trade, taking issue with Trump's recent suggestion that American children can simply "live with less" when it comes to toys amid rising prices.
Trump, defending his tariff-driven trade policy, downplayed concerns about shortages and rising costs by telling reporters aboard Air Force One: "A young lady, a 10-year-old girl, 9-year-old girl, 15-year-old girl, doesn't need 37 dolls. She can be very happy with two or three or four or five."
