The WSJ’s tirade against President Trump’s decisive action to stop fentanyl from killing innocent Americans is a reminder the WSJ is always wrong when it comes to tariffs and trade. For years, the WSJ has supported America Last policies such as open borders and outsourcing.

In a 1991 commentary article, the WSJ attacked opponents of NAFTA as "protectionists" and "anti-growth zealots."

Between NAFTA’s implementation in 1994 and 2014, the U.S. auto sector lost 348,000 jobs.

In a 2000 column, WSJ editorial board editor Robert Bartley wrote that NAFTA was one of Bill Clinton's "true accomplishments."

One study found that just through 2002, the NAFTA deal "caused the displacement of production that supported 879,280 U.S. jobs."

In 1999, the WSJ claimed China’s ascendance into the World Trade Association was “worth celebrating.”

China’s entrance into the WTO and its permanent normal trade status caused the U.S. to lose 3.7 million jobs, according to one study.

In 2001, the WSJ’s editorial board editor Robert Bartley wrote the Wall Street Journal "supports" the "vision" of "open borders for not only goods and investment but also people.”

In 2018, the WSJ editorial board wrote President Trump made "the biggest policy blunder of his presidency" by imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum.

A 2024 study on the effects of President Trump’s tariffs in his first term found they “strengthened the U.S. economy.”
