WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he wants to be able to slap tariffs on U.S. companies that choose to make their products overseas, and he's willing to violate existing trade deals to do it.

Yes Trump has overseas business. And he is willing to do things that will hurt those overseas business to help America.
Are you competing with CW?
That is a great list and I like the guy.
But he needs to put more time into learning current events..
The leaders of Hamas And Hezbollah dont change leaders every six months. He should know who the Quids are.
Two hours a day with an expert (Bolton) and he would be caught up to speed very quickly.
I like Ted but he has to get right on immigration.
lol No! More than anything else I want the Wall and deport illegals.
Yes he owns hotels and golf courses overseas.
He needs to impose general tariffs on every country that runs a sigificant trade deficit with us instead of singling out individual companies. And I understand that’s allowed under the WTO agreements. Not sure about NAFTA.
It’s frustrating to see these companies moving production out of America, yet they still think they can sell into American markets and not contribute anything to our society. I’m with Trump, tariff them. But I think legally, you probably need to tariff all imports.
Trump will know more about middle-east by GOP convention time than most others. He is a fast learner and a quick study. Much more important than details such as names of terrorists is his philosophy and agenda in dealing with problems. A president has bucket loads of advisers and assistants to brief him on details.
I think it’s great that Trump might actually pull the plug on these establishment policies. However, if he actually is in a position of power and leverage to actually implement an anti-establishment agenda - I hate to say it but I think he would be taken out. If it were to come down to it he would be assassinated or destroyed in some way. No way the Powers that be are going to allow their agenda be rolled back unless that is the agenda. One step back two steps forward. Plan a , b or c and the US is likely still screwed. I hate to appear negative or overly cynical but just calling it how I see it. Interesting times.
JFK was a shot across the bow to let all know what the stakes are if one gets out of line. Now people have nothing to lose as this country hangs in the balance - whatever is coming is for all the marbles.
Could be.
I hope you are correct.
