Whenever another country does something to affect our trade with them, they should have a clear understanding that we will do the same thing BACK to them.
That is the only trade policy I would like to see.
And if I understand Trump at all he would do it back twice as bad.
I agree that we should do the same back. However, there are other situations that call for a different approach. A number of countries lack intellectual property laws and a legal system similar to ours. Then there are nation states that subsidize business and industry. That isn’t an equal playing field and doing the same back to them may not be achievable or wanted.
