the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that Ronald Reagan spoke against tariffs in a 1988 radio address on free trade?
Unclear. One book snippet cites a 1988 Reagan radio broadcast in which he called tariffs something like 'the most beautiful,' and a law-review excerpt quotes Reagan opposing trade wars, but neither item confirms the specific 1988 radio address on free trade as worded.
