Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) acknowledged that the public is seeing higher prices as a result of tariffs imposed by President Trump, but he argued the trade overhaul is “for the good of the country.”

“I think a lot of people are seeing higher prices. Our family’s in the construction business, and we get a lot of our timber from Canada and other countries. Yes, it’s higher. Steel prices are up, but it’s for the good of the country,” Norman said Saturday on Fox News when asked to explain the network’s July poll showing that 55 percent of Americans disapproved of the president’s handling of the economy.
