Tariff Diplomacy Means Crank Up the Trump Tax Cuts Into One Big Beautiful Bill Now

Tariff diplomacy means crank up the Trump tax cuts right now.One thing we’ve learned about President Trump’s tariff diplomacy is that he’s not bluffing.He did offer Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, a 30-day pause in the 25 percent tariff.That’s because at the last moment she came in with a proposal to put 10,000 troops on the border to stop illegal immigration and curb the flow of fentanyl and other deadly drugs.Identically Canada’s Justin Trudeau did the same thing — so another 30 day pause.Shows you what strong, decisive, and energetic leadership can do.These are big Trump wins.Rest assured, though, Mr. Trump was ready to pull the trigger. And I agree with his use of tariffs to protect both national and economic security.Now here’s a related thought.Mr. Trump’s aggressive use of tariffs should bring the Republican Congress great incentive to get the tax cuts passed.Both the 2017 tax cut extension and some of the new Trump 2.0 tax cuts such as the 15 percent corporate tax, tax-free tips for service employees, overtime pay, and seniors.Remember one of the good arguments posed by the president was that tariffs would generate revenues and revenues could finance tax cuts.The 10 percent universal tariffs baseline that I strongly favor would of course allow Mr. Trump to seek reciprocity in bilateral negotiations.But it could also provide something like $500 billion, give or take — to finance tax cuts.In effect regarding the rest of the world, you tax us, then we’ll tax you back.But our tax take will be given right back to our businesses and blue-collar working families. And then in the spirit of reciprocity, if you stop taxing us then we’ll stop taxing you.But who can tell if the tariff truce between Mr. Trump and Ms. Sheinbaum and Mr. Trudeau will continue longer than a month.Mexico is a tough case because it’s basically become a narco-state.China’s exporting raw materials for fentanyl and other drugs, and the cartels put them all together in these hideous drug factories. And then the cartels bring them into the United States, killing hundreds and thousands of Americans.It’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen.Mr. Trump is willing to tariff Mexico til the end of their time until they stop allowing this.So once again, my message to Republican House and Senate members: please crank up those tax cuts into one big beautiful bill to be finished this spring, and help launch the Trump golden era, blue-collar boom.From Mr. Kudlow’s broadcast on Fox Business Network.
