Press Briefing Showdown: Leavitt Defends Tariffs, Dismisses “Tax Hike” Claims

In a fiery press briefing on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took aim at claims that President Donald Trump’s new tariff policies are, in effect, tax hikes on the American people.

As the United States embarks on a new phase of trade confrontation—most recently escalating tariffs on Canadian imports—this episode sheds light on how the Trump administration seeks to reframe the narrative around protectionism, fiscal responsibility, and national prosperity.
