Part 4/6:
When asked about advice to President Trump regarding tariffs, Cruz acknowledged the president's current direction while cautioning that concrete agreements from China are still pending. The discussions have only yielded an agreement to lower tariffs on both sides.
Cruz suggested that early deliverables should be sought, particularly on issues such as fentanyl, while also aiming for broader market access and addressing non-tariff barriers that pose significant challenges for businesses. He remarked that these non-tariff barriers represent some of the most pressing issues alongside tariffs.
