Trump wouldn’t have done this unless he already had some partners who would reduce tariffs. Who were the last 3 foreign leaders to come to the US?
I will bet that this is what he has already been doing in the background.
THIS was a political move to help shore up the Rust Belt he started winning over in 2016. If Trump plays his cards right, not only will these tariffs even out our $888 BILLION trade deficit, but it will solidify Republican chances in once Democrat-only city, county and state elections!
I figure this is what he is really working towards!
