Kevin O'Leary, a Shark Tank investor, believes that President-elect Donald Trump should impose tariffs on China to address their unfair trade practices.
Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary said on Monday on Fox Business Network’s “Fox Business Live” that President-elect Donald Trump must take on China with tariffs. Host David Asman said, “The difference between Canada and China is monumental. I mean, Trudeau came into the U.S., bowed at the feet of Donald Trump and folded like a cheap suit.

Any weakness at all, he plays off, and he has done so for years. So I’m hoping this is the administration that fixes the problem. I have really been hurt by China and there are millions of other businesses in America that are the same boat I’m i
