Ryan bucks Trump, says Congress won't raise tariffs

“We’re not going to be raising tariffs,” Ryan said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”

Trump has called for a “big border tax” on companies that leave the United States but continue to sell their goods here.

Ryan said “the secret” to getting businesses to stay in the country is to level the playing field on taxes, lowering taxes for businesses, not increasing them.

In signs of another gap with the president-elect, Ryan called WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange a “sycophant for Russia.”
