SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I watched this with the election of this left-winger in Canada attacking: "America wants to put tariffs." I'm like, "No." The tariff war started with Canada. Canada is the one that puts massive tariffs on our products. They're the country that doesn't pay their fair share of NATO. They're the country that won't secure their border. They're the country that have not been good partners to us. 

The only thing difference is Donald Trump called it out. Anyway, the president's trade policies affect these record tariffs, is it to me -- I'm a free and fair trader, but it's got to be free and fair. And that's where I think the term reciprocal tariffs in time, probably sooner than later, is going to come into play.
