Pence rebuffs Trump on tariffs, Russia and January 6 pardons in CNN interview
- During a CNN interview at Boston’s JFK Presidential Library on Monday, former Vice President Mike Pence expressed opposition to President Donald Trump’s tariffs, the pardoning of January 6 rioters, and his remarks regarding Russia.
- Pence opposed broad-based tariffs Trump imposed against allies and adversaries alike, arguing they result from policies not targeting trade abusers but advancing new industrial policy causing inflation and harm to consumers.
- He criticized Trump for pardoning or reducing sentences for more than a thousand individuals involved in the Capitol riot on January 6, describing the decision as sending an inappropriate message, especially given that some of the rioters directed threats toward Pence, who was present with his family during the event.
- Pence warned that if Russia succeeds in Ukraine, it may invade a NATO ally, and he insisted Putin 'doesn't want peace, he wants Ukraine,' urging continued U.S. Military support and lamenting wavering backing that encourages Russia.
- Watching Trump’s return from the sidelines, Pence plans to publicly advocate conservative values as the best future path, while urging a different White House approach on key issues including tariffs and Ukraine support.
