Fox News tried out several other defenses of the tariffs. It published an article theorizing that Trump’s tariffs are a “calculated” ploy to create global economic uncertainty that would cause investors worldwide to buy U.S. assets and consequently lower our interest rates. At least one Republican congressman swallowed this story, but interest rates have refused to cooperate — so much so that Trump cited the “queasy” bond market in suspending some of his tariffs. If interest rates decline as a result of the tariffs, though, it still might not be good news, since it could be a side effect of lower economic growth.
