SO, with all that authority, what would he do to stop Carrier from moving.
Saying they can and have authority is not helpful when there is no specific plan presented.
What can he do to stop Carrier, which is what he stated he would do?
Saying other countries are not practicing fair trade is connected to Carrier in what way?
I’m tired of the BS and want specifics.
I know I will never get them, though, but it is a hope of mine.
By EO Trump could vacate the NAFTA trade agreement. He has the balls to do it.
The President can label any country a currency manipulator, and demand they stop. It would almost certainly provoke a trade war where in the tit for tat, Trump could impose any tariffs he wants.
If not, the President, controls the International Trade Commission, and appoints the Commissioners who rule on Section 751 Complaints (dumping by foreign countries).
Basically Trump announces that everyone who has been economically injured by imports from Mexico since day -1 of NAFTA, or whatever, should get down to the ITC to plead their case.
Then Trump’s ITC commissioners uphold every single complaint and start imposing gigantic tariffs on everything coming in from Mexico, including pickup trucks, cookies and HVAC equipment.
There is also Section 201-203 in the Trade Act with more grounds for the ITC to rule in favor of US interests injured by imports and impose trade penalties on the offending country.
like i say, the President has great authority in this area. All that is required is leadership.
