Lou Dobbs Trade and Tariff Discussion With Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross…

CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE ^ | 3/12/2018 | SUNDANCE

[bitt]

U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross discusses the recently imposed steel and aluminum tariffs and America’s future trade relationships with all nations including the very protectionist European Union. Reminder: Regarding ‘European Union (EU) retaliation’, forget it; they won’t.

The protectionist EU hypocrites simply cannot afford to go toe-to-toe with the U.S. on trade. The UK is in the process of formalizing their Brexit terms; the EU (essentially ‘Germany’) needs to find a way to make up for the lost revenue (billions in taxes) from the UK economy. Currently the UK pays Brussels approximately a billion per month on a $2.5 trillion economy; that will stop.

If protectionism is so bad why is it the rest of the world almost universally practice it?

There are plenty of arguments for protectionism, but that’s not one of them. “The rest of the world” does a lot of stupid things that have no place in a free nation. I’ll name government-run health care and gun control as perfect examples.

Fair trade. Dollar for dollar. End of story or we slap a tariff on their goods coming here.

No more trade welfare.

WW2 was long time ago.

These Nations no longer need our economic help.

They can also start paying for their own Defense.

Because they make a ton of money off it?
