White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Sunday said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is “overreacting” to the Trump administration’s decision to impose steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada.

“To say that this is an attack on Canada is not right,” Kudlow told “Fox News Sunday.”

“I think he’s overreacting. I don’t want to get into the middle of that.”

Trudeau last week slammed the Trump administration’s decision, calling the tariffs an “affront” to the historic alliance between the two nations.

1. Kudlow is a d**k! How insulting! nt

9. Another TV personality with the economic knowledge of a high schooler...does he even know

America only produces 15% of aluminum consumed, with Canada providing the plurality of the shortfall?

It will take years and years to ramp up domestic production, if ever...in the meantime, here comes inflation! Not to mention huge increases in prices on cars, homes (timber) and al manner of ag. products.

Crowing about the economy one day, as it exists, and then trying to dismantle the very status quo that has made that economy...the logic is sad...Trudeau is 💯 percent right...

...as he said, WTF, eh?

2. We should be able to impose all the tariffs we want without anyone retaliating!

Welcome to reality, Larry.

3. By saying he "doesn't want to get into the middle of that", he just admited Trudeau is right

[jayschool2013]

4. Right

And he "doesn't want to get into the middle of (his job)"? Fuhhhh

5. What does a teevee 'economist' know about squat??

Oh teh stupid, it hurtz.

6. Based on ol' Larry's track record...

...first of all, HOW is he in any position of responsibility or influence whatsoever. Second, if the only thing you knew about this situation is that Kudlow is saying this, the way to bet is that Trudeau is right. At least about something.

7. Kudlow/ the White House does NOT get to tell other countries how to react.

Talk about a bunch of clueless, worthless people. Someone never taught them that you can't make decisions for others. Only the person in the situation has that right.

8. Want-to-be-friends and friends are two very different things

Some people have a hard time figuring that out

[Haggis for Breakfast]

10. Is this the same Larry Kudlow

Who said in 2002 that the invasion of Iraq would be a huge boost for the American economy ?

Who said in 2005 that there was no housing bubble and that anyone who thought so was "dead wrong." ?

Who said in 2007 that "There is no recession coming." ?

Who said in 2015 that "Unemployment makes people not want to work." ?

And I could go on, but you get the picture.

Has this man EVERY said anything about the economy that was correct ??

11. Just more gop lies and bullshit

12. You Forgot Idiocy

Lies, bullshit and idiocy. The last one is particularly important when describing Larry Kudlow.
