(DCNF)—Charles Payne warned Americans on Fox News Thursday not to be fooled by misleading trade statistics or globalist talking points as he laid bare how foreign nations undermine U.S. trade through hidden tactics and bureaucratic roadblocks.
The House passed a GOP-backed bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, with every Democrat voting no. During an appearance on Hannity, host Sean Hannity mentioned the House-passed bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico and said a deal with China is “inevitable” due to its reliance on U.S. markets, a point Payne agreed with.
“I agree with everything you said, obviously, and this is the point that really needs to be driven home. This is not about America being isolated by itself. It is about America, to your point, though, being able to take care of key components of its economy, and we all saw and lived through it during COVID-19, with certain things that we developed here — drugs, pharmaceuticals, technologies and other things. We have to wait for them to be shipped to us from China. And China wasn’t shipping anything,” Payne said.
Payne then listed the tricks other countries use to hurt the U.S.
“Forget about the official tariff number. All countries have these non-tariff barriers. In the case of the U.K. it was the procurement process. There was a customs process. They had some nonscientific standards for certain things. All of these things are de facto tariffs, and that’s what we have got to, that is that thing we have to eliminate – eliminate if we will have free and fair trade,” Payne said.
Payne said many foreign countries don’t need high tariffs to block U.S. products.
“They [China] weren’t taking anything from us, so [the] so-called fair trade, free trade, that was totally eliminated. This is a great first step, and what I really love about this particular deal is the non-tariff barriers,” Payne said.
Payne said the media continues to mislead the public by focusing solely on tariff percentages and ignoring the elaborate maze of red tape designed to keep American products out.
“This is another area where folks are being misled by the media. All the tariffs are relatively low,” Payne said.
President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the U.S. secured a new trade agreement with the United Kingdom, marking the first deal since the sweeping tariff measures in April. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said the agreement is set to be finalized in the coming weeks and will boost market access for American manufacturers.
Trump imposed a 10% tariff on most U.K. imports in April, alongside 25% duties on steel and aluminum. In return for easing tariffs on steel and automobiles, U.K. officials are offering to cut a digital tax on U.S. tech firms and expand market access for American goods, though the baseline tariff will likely remain unchanged.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
