One of the chieftains of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and former Kaduna lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central at the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani has reacted after hearing that the President of the United State of America, Donald Trump has imposed a 14% tariff on all exports from Nigeria to USA.
Senator Shehu Sani’s reaction was contained in a post that he shared on his official X handle on Thursday.
According to Punch, President Donald Trump made the decision to boost the economy of America.
He was quoted as saying that;
“We will pry open foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers, and ultimately, more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers. This will be, indeed, the golden age of Americans coming back”.
However, Senator Shehu Sani has now shared his thoughts after the report surfaced online. In a post that he shared on his official X handle, he said Donald Trump loves his country and that’s why he’s doing everything possible to make sure other countries are less dependent on the US.
Here is what the former Kaduna lawmaker made on his official X handle;
“Trump is even fighting America’s neighbours; Canada and Mexico and their traditional European allies, so imposing 14% tariffs on Nigeria shouldn’t come as a surprise. The good side of Trump policy is compelling countries to be less dependent on the US and find alternatives”.
