The White House eased tariffs imposed on China after several staffers were forced to warn President Donald Trump that his penalties would cause his supporters - or “Trump’s people,” - to suffer economically, according to a report.
While Trump was reluctant to lower tariffs against Beijing too quickly, several White House staffers – including Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other aides – warned him the penalties were placing his own supporters in danger, sources told the Washington Post.
