So, what leverage would you use to remove the unethical tarrifs and governmental price controls China, Canada, Mexico and the EU put on goods from the US?

Honestly, what is your solution? The solution is to put high enoug tarrifs on them to get them to eliminate the tarrifs they have in place. I shouldn’t have to explain something that should be blatantly obvious to even a second grader to someone who has been on this board any length of time. Common freaking sense.

Trump has said if they want to get rid of all their tarrifs, we’ll get rid of ours.

We didn’t start the trade war, but are damn well going to end it.

Why does the rest of the world almost universally practice protectionism? And name a country with lower average tariff rates than the USA. Answer those questions or shut up you globalist hacks at the no Wall Street Urinal.

The 30 year globalist experiment in "Free Trade" is an abject failure. Why? because the rest of the of world didn't play along and used the USA like a cheap whore.

Exactly - that’s why the “free traders” argument is insane. The other side has been fighting the trade war for 3 decades. We just haven’t been fighting back.

So Trump is the ultimate free trader! He wants to eliminate all trade barriers. How does that sit with all of you anti-trade Freepers? Would you accept a tariff free trading regime? What will happen to the US truck business if all tariffs are dropped?
