Kevin Hassett has always come across as a very nice person. I almost feel bad for him, having to defend the indefensible tariffs on Brazil. There's no legal authority and he more or less acknowledges that.
White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett defended Pres. Trump’s newly unveiled 50% tariff against Brazil, the United States’ second-largest trading partner, claiming the move is part of the administration’s broader tariff strategy.

this is a very striking admission. even if you already suspected Trump was going out of his way to help Putin, it's weird as hell for him to just blurt that out.
Trump is admitting two things here. The first is that he has been serving Russian interests by protecting Putin on numerous occasions. The second is that Trump is feeling pressure to be harder on Russia, which he really doesn’t want to do. Response: keep up the pressure!
