Reagan's Forgotten Warning: The Tariff Speech That Predicted Today's Trade Wars
Sponsored link:
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan addressed the nation on free and fair trade, warning about the consequences of tariffs.
In this remarkable Camp David address, Reagan articulates with crystal clarity why tariffs ultimately harm the very nations that impose them—a lesson some leaders still haven't learned nearly four decades later. With characteristic wisdom and foresight, Reagan warns against the exact trade policies now making headlines, demonstrating why he was respected across party lines and around the world. Whether you're a policy wonk, history buff, or concerned citizen watching today's economic decisions unfold, this five-minute masterclass in trade economics from one of America's most influential presidents provides essential context for understanding current global trade tensions. A powerful reminder that sometimes the best answers to today's problems were already articulated decades ago.
