If the trade barriers can come down, there are billions and billions of Chinese that would buy American products made in America. They will pay absurd prices too. Right now, a Chinese Starbucks coffee goes for $6 USD, and a latte is over $10. It’s insane. Starbucks are popping up everywhere.

Nice try! You should have President Xi increase your monthly payments.
The Chinese do NOT need tariffs to limit imports. They can have social pressure (with substantial automated support) applied to individuals using foreign products/services. They can super slow walk customs processing & approvals. There are many, many other ways they can limit imports.
President Trump, INCREASE TARIFFS ON CHINESE PRODUCTS TO 25%...and increase the range of Chinese products covered by tariffs. Announce further future increases (next to 50%?) absent VERY satisfactory verifiable changes by China
Why not 100%?
