Trump suggests tariffs can help solve rising child care costs

Former President Donald Trump is suggesting his plans to increase tariffs on foreign imports will solve seemingly unrelated challenges such as the rising cost of child care. Trump was asked Thursday about his plans to drive down costs of child care preventing women from rejoining the workforce. The GOP presidential nominee was speaking to a group of executives and industry leaders on how he plans to increase tariffs, slash regulations and cut government spending and corporate taxes. Trump has embraced tariffs as a means to appeal to working-class voters who oppose free-trade deals and the outsourcing of factories and jobs.
