By Joe Kovacs

PALM BEACH, Florida – As the Trump administration continues to defend tariffs on products from other countries, one of the president’s top advisers is sounding the alarm about a “far more important” economic threat to America.The danger, according to Peter Navarro, the White House senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, is non-tariff cheating.

Navarro appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel, and told guest host Jackie DeAngelis: “The reality here is that institutionally, the international trade system is designed to cheat us.

“They have systematically higher tariffs on us, but more importantly, and far more importantly, it’s the non-tariff cheating.
