Former President Joe Biden’s U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday blows up the tariffs on President Donald Trump, calling the return of American manufacturing a “pipe dream” that may not even be a “desired goal.”
Yellen, who chaired the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018 before heading the Treasury Department from 2021 to 2025, took him to CNBC Scoebox Spitting out her anti-American rhetoric:
“Things were just confusing,” the former secretary said. “We’ve had mutual tariffs and suspended… This really creates an environment where families and businesses feel paralyzed by uncertainty about what’s going to happen. It makes planning almost impossible.”
At one point in the interview, she made it clear that she didn’t believe in “American manufacturing.”
“It’s probably about bringing back American manufacturing, but I don’t think it’s a real dream and it’s something that’s likely to be achieved,” she said.
“And in a wide range of ways, we can even raise questions about whether that is a desirable goal,” she added.
Kentucky businessman and Senate Republican candidate Nate Morris has denounced Yellen’s remarks on X:
“The same leftist elite responsible for spitting out our manufacturing bases, messing up workers and building China’s Communist Party is upset because President Trump promises to put America first and end the globalist agenda,” he wrote.
