<p>Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) defended President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs during a Monday morning appearance on Fox News, saying that cattle ranchers in his state were grateful for the president&#8217;s efforts to balance trade by pushing back against the barriers put in place by other nations.</p>
<p>Barrasso told the hosts of Fox&#8217;s &#8220;America&#8217;s Newsroom&#8221; that because of trade barriers imposed by nations like Australia, beef producers were forced into an uneven — and unfair — trade market because they had to compete for domestic sales with countries that wouldn&#8217;t even allow their product to be sold abroad.</p>

<p>&#8220;Congress has given the President more and more authority on tariffs,&#8221; Barrasso explained. &#8220;Specifically, national security for unfair trade practices, President Trump is fully within his authority, and I appreciate what the president is doing on tariffs, specifically in our home state of Wyoming.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In terms of beef, the cattle producers, they are saying it is about time,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;One of the countries that you just showed on that slide before I came on, Australia — Australia has sold $29 billion worth of beef in the United States, and we haven&#8217;t been able to sell one hamburger in Australia because of barriers.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They showed Thailand, 30% tariffs on beef coming from the United States,&#8221; Barrasso said. &#8220;Vietnam, 50%. You look at these numbers, and the ranchers of Wyoming are saying, &#8216;Thank you, Mr. President, it is about time.'&#8221;</p>
<p>The widespread tariffs, introduced last Wednesday during a White House event dubbed &#8220;Liberation Day,&#8221; have sparked <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spin-cycle-legacy-media-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fierce debate</a> both on Capitol Hill and across media outlets as the resulting uncertainty caused the stock market to take a dramatic tumble.</p>
<p>Still, Trump has defended the move and urged those concerned about the market to &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hang-tough-trump-calls-on-americans-to-ride-out-tariff-storm-predicts-historic-investments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hang tough</a>&#8221; as the tariffs are used as leverage to bring other nations to the table to negotiate fairer trade arrangements for the United States.</p>
