evidence: WASHINGTON — President Biden sped-read a speech Tuesday unveiling new tariffs on Chinese goods — as a springtime DC downpour cut short his remarks escalating former President Donald Trump’s trade war with Beijing just months before their election rematch. [...] Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, was among Biden’s detractors Tuesday, tweeting, "Tariffs are a direct, regressive tax on Americans and this tax increase will hit every family." Biden previously opposed Trump’s China tariffs, describing them in 2019 as "senseless political games" that Americans would "foot the bill for" and writing that "[a]ny freshman econ student could tell you that the American people are paying his tariffs."
