Congress has the authority to regulate international trade.

But the real power they have is to influence outcomes for a price.

A price that should favor the American worker, not foreign slave shops that have no labor laws to protect their own workers.

Our Congress has been bought and sold by the globalist Free Traders thru K Street for decades to keep tariffs at near zero rate. So don't give em that BS.

There is no rational way to explain the trade deficits the USA has had and the current near suicidal zero rate tariff schedule other then calling it what is it is: collusion and corruption at the highest level.
