User Clip: Nancy Pelosi Calls for Reciprocal Tariffs with China - June 27, 1996 | Video | C-SPAN.org
FLASHBACK: 30 years ago, Nancy Pelosi demanded Congress confront Chinese tariffs on American goods. According to Pelosi, "In terms of tariffs, it’s interesting to note that the average U.S. MFN [Most Favored Nation] tariff on Chinese goods coming into the United States is two percent, whereas the average MFN tariff on U.S. goods going into China is 35 percent." The congresswoman also asked, "Is that reciprocal?" She also went on to call the U.S.-China trade relationship a "job loser."
