Tariffs should be part of US trade policy, Trump foe Warren says
Democratic US Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has traded barbs with President Donald Trump, said on Sunday (March 11) she's "not afraid of tariffs," but stopped short of endorsing his decision to launch steep tariffs on steel and aluminum.
In several television interviews, Warren, who has been touted as a potential 2020 presidential candidate, said she saw a role for tariffs as part of US trade policy.
"I am not afraid of tariffs," she said on NBC's Meet the Press programme. "We need a comprehensive rethinking of our trade policy."

Football: Griezmann, Vitolo on target as Atletico beat Celta
Atletico Madrid recovered from their defeat by Barcelona in last week's top-of-the-table clash by crushing Celta Vigo 3-0 at home in La Liga on Sunday (March 11) to reduce the gap with the Catalans back down to eight points.
France forward Antoine Griezmann broke the deadlock a minute before halftime to move on to 16 league goals for the season and draw level with Celta forward Iago Aspas as the fourth top scorer in the top flight.
Griezmann then set up the second goal in the 54th minute with a pinpoint through ball to Spain international Vitolo, who scored his first Liga goal for Atletico since his move from Sevilla. Moments before, Celta midfielder Nemanja Radoja had crept into the area undetected to meet a cross but sent the ball against the near post.
