In America last year, nearly 40 million workers made less than $17 an hour. Unacceptable.

Nobody in America can make it on $7.25 an hour, $9 an hour or $12 an hour.

We need an economy in which all of our workers earn a living wage.

This chaos will keep hurting the American people. Maybe the President is looking for an exit ramp. Maybe he's not. Either way, this will only end when Congress reins Trump in.
BREAKING: President Trump says he's pausing tariffs on many countries for 90 days, while raising tariffs on China to 125%.
Trump announces 90-day pause on "reciprocal" tariffs
The president also said he's raising the tariff rate on Chinese imports to 125%, effective immediately.

Right now, in America, 22 million workers make less than $15/hr. 40 million make less than $17/hr.

Shamefully, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and remains at $7.25/hr.

I asked Trump's nominee for Treasury if we should raise it.

His response?

"No sir."
