VIDEO: Sen. Drew MacEwen joins Newsmax to discuss tariffs, trade, and Washington state politics

Sen. Drew MacEwen argues that tariffs help counter unfair trade imbalances and protect U.S. industries like timber and steel, which are hurt by excessive environmental regulations and foreign dumping.

He warned that overreliance on imports poses national security risks and stressed the need to boost domestic production.

On state politics, he noted Washington Democrats are shifting further left, with no moderates left in office.

Ironically, he sees new Democratic Gov. Ferguson as a surprising check on extreme economic policies.
