Agree
No
Obama's administration generally favored free trade and globalization, and he often spoke about the benefits of these for the U.S. economy. While he did impose some tariffs on Chinese goods, these were specific and targeted, not a broad increase. Therefore, he would likely somewhat agree with not increasing tariffs broadly.
