CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Wednesday that “tariffs worked” as a means to prod China to agree to a “phase one” trade deal with the United States.

“I keep wondering when people are going to recognize that it is historic that tariffs did succeed,” Cramer said on “Squawk on the Street,” shortly before U.S. and Chinese officials were set to sign the initial trade agreement at the White House later in the morning.

“Tariffs were not supposed to work,” said Cramer, who has all along been a supporter of President Donald Trump’s hard-line approach toward China.

“The Chinese were supposed to be able to get around them. It didn’t happen,” the “Mad Money” host added. “The Chinese were kind of accepting that they had to get something in order to keep the American market.”

Tariffs are bad if they don't work for negotiating but good if they do work. Long term they suck for everyone. Im surprised Communist China came to the table this soon... Trump really must have struck fear into them.

Props to da Boss.

I think China folded because their economists couldn’t figure out a way to combat the tariffs. Everything they tried seemed to backfire.

Cramer has been fully on the side of Trump. He’s basically MAGA despite being a “democrat”

CNBC generally speaks favorably about Trump and many of their guests do as well.

I don't, but Trump has definitely shown me that if they are used correctly they are an effective tool. Unfortunately, most presidents do not use them correctly.
