In an old interview that resurfaced ahead of the Liberation Day, a young Trump calls out the so-called "free trade" policies, which he claims have unfairly benefited nations like Japan and Kuwait, while leaving the U.S. disadvantaged.
Trump's comments reflect his longstanding stance on trade, where he has argued that previous agreements were detrimental to American industries and jobs. Now U.S. President continues to advocate for policies that prioritize American workers and aim to ensure fairer trade terms with foreign nations, through the sweeping new tariffs that are set to be rolled out today.
FLASHBACK: President Trump tells the story of Japanese PM Shinzo Abe acknowledging that Japan has gotten away with ripping off the United States.
