Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : "The Administration is delivering on this pledge with what works: from traditional free-market policies like deregulation and working-class tax cuts to tariffs that are putting an end to lopsided 'free' trade arrangements," White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement.
42% : He has also used them to punish countries against which he has grievances, including his decision late last month to slap higher taxes on Canadian imports after the province of Ontario ran a television ad that featured excerpts from a 1987 radio address in which Reagan criticized tariffs.
