President Ronald Reagan imposed 100% tariffs on Japanese electronics in 1987, aimed at protecting U.S. jobs amidst trade tensions. NEWSMAX Chief White House Correspondent James Rosen takes a deeper look at "Reaganomics" tariffs. James Rosen

@JamesRosenTV Reagan stood up for American workers, just like Trump is doing now. Fair trade means putting America first, not last.

Here’s what could get more expensive with Trump’s new tariffs.

@JamesRosenTV President Ronald Reagan imposed tariffs on Japanese electronics imports in 1987, specifically targeting semiconductors and related products. This action saved the USA semiconductor industry. I worked my entire career in a fab in CA, so I have a unique appreciation for this. 😀

@JamesRosenTV Famously did the same on higher displacement motorcycles to protect Harley Davidson

@JamesRosenTV If you live in America, then be on Team America!

@JamesRosenTV Reagan’s bold 100% tariffs in ‘87 protected American jobs and showed the world we mean business! Proud of his legacy defending our economic strength!

@JamesRosenTV And it was a giant failure.

@JamesRosenTV Who needs CNN when we have NEWS MAX? R. Reagan, which I am a BIG fan, was a good President but he was Hollywood Actor; NOT much Business or Negotiating edu. or experience; not at P. Trump's Level. Bush Sr. was a disaster & his son which brought NAFTA & WAR...a bigger disaster.

@JamesRosenTV IMPOSING TARIFFS IS LIKE PLAYING A GAME OF CHESS.

@JamesRosenTV So Reagan sent our electronics manufacturing to China instead.

@JamesRosenTV Reagan did most things with humor! Gotta love the conservatives with a smile.
