House Democrat says own party moving in ‘wrong direction’ on trade

Exclusive: The main moderate democracy warns his party that they are heading to the “wrong” road in trade.

Representative Jared Golden, Die Min, was one of the few Democrats who express some optimism to support President Donald Trump for definitions, specifically his transfer to add a 10 % basic duty to all American imports.

Golden noticed in a short interview with Fox News Digital on Thursday that he himself suggested legislation to obtain a 10 % global tariff earlier this year and in the previous conference.

When asked how to receive his position on the definitions by his colleagues at home, Golden said: “Well, I think they are moving in the wrong direction when it comes to trade.”

“I think it was a reaction to the knee to the president,” Democrat said in Mine’s most recent anger.

He said that the Democratic Party, which he joined in “Training Years” was “the party that warned about things like the World Trade Organization or [the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)]”

“He had a sudden movement in the opposite direction, and this is unfortunate,” Golden said. “You have to look at what you know, who is the president … to ask themselves what will be good for rural societies or individuals from the working class, or cities like Detroit, whatever it is-those who have been more than that by the current commercial system.”

He added, however, “I think this debate has been brewing since the 1990s, so it is not only Trump.”

Golden is known to be separated from his private party in issues such as trade and border security, especially former President Joe Biden’s efforts for students.

He won his seat in the second congressional area of ​​Maine by less than 1 % in 2024, while Trump carried the area by 10 %.

He said on Wednesday that he was “pleased” to the tariff plan that belongs to Trump with his own ideas for a global tax on foreign goods.

“I am keen to work with the president to reform the broken” free trade “system that has made multinationals rich but destroyed throughout the country. But the customs tariff must be associated with policies that give priority to the prosperity of American families.

He pointed out that Trump “provided a number of new customs tariff policies” in addition to the global tax by 10 %, and that he will need time to review the policies in detail before influencing them.

“We need to ensure that the new approach benefits workers-and this means supporting unions, trading and professional learning programs, reducing the regulations that hinder production, launching American energy and using customs tariff revenues to support local manufacturers that create good wages for Americans,” Golden added.

“The definitions are a first step in rewriting a forged commercial system, but they cannot be the last.”
