In April 2018, he said that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office was untrustworthy. Kudlow dismissed CBO’s estimate that the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would increase the deficit by $1.3 trillion, saying, “Never believe the CBO.
Very important: Never believe them. They’re always wrong, especially with regard to tax cuts, which they never score properly.”
Also in April, he alleged that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley had announced that the U.S. would soon sanction Russia due to “momentary confusion”. After she contradicted Kudlow’s claim, Kudlow called Haley to apologize.
He also stated, “the trouble I had with the Obama [stimulus] program was it was all spending.” About 35% of the stimulus was tax relief, including a $116 billion income tax cut.
On August 28, 2018, after Donald Trump accused Google of rigging search results to show information biased against him, Kudlow told reporters “we’re taking a look at” regulating Google.
In November 2018, which was eleven months after the Trump tax cut, Kudlow stated, “the tax cut has paid for itself already barely through the first calendar year,” although data released weeks later showed federal revenue had declined and the deficit had increased during calendar 2018.
During the 2018-2019 partial federal government shutdown, approximately 420,000 federal workers deemed “essential” were compelled to continue working without pay.

In June 2018, Kudlow intensified the administration’s feud with Canadian Prime minister Justin Trudeau, calling the prime minister’s criticisms of President Donald Trump’s tariff proposals “a betrayal” that “really kind of stabbed us in the back.”
Canada had previously hosted a weekend gathering of the Group of Seven major industrial nations and had been highly critical of Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on aluminum and steel imports from Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. Trudeau termed Trump saying that U.S. national security justified the move “kind of insulting” to Canada.
Justin, who threatened retaliatory tariffs, also said Canada would not be “pushed around.” Trump however quickly responded by personally attacking Trudeau.
