And his leverage is to add tariffs on imported goods raising the cost to all U.S. consumers as Williams points out. How will that cause foreign countries to renegotiate instead of retaliate?

Please, you do not understand business or negotiating enough to understand DoodleDawg. Let’s just hope the stupid people in government get out of his way and let him do this...it is really easy actually. A high school student could succeed in those negotiations.

Trump was specifically talking about China where we export our fertilizer keeping the bovine population employed and the products primarily of our multinationals and our wealth with a burgeoning trade deficit while they export to us manufactured goods, pirate our technology and manipulate their currency to our disadvantage. US News estimates 3.2 million US jobs lost to China since 2001.Are you suggesting they will be retaliating by sending the jobs and our wealth back to us?
Because the same argument used about why the US should not retaliate applies in spades to these economiess more depent on selling to the USA then the USA is on selling too them
I love the way people simply ignore fact and cling to the “Free Trade” dogma.
The customer (the USA) has other options, the seller “such as China” does not have other markets nearly as profitable. Therefore there is build in leverage on the customers side, which we refuse to use.
We can do without China much easier then they can do without our market. However, because we follow this ridiculous “Manage d Trade” policy, we never use our leverage to stop their unfair trade and currency practices.
Manged Trade is the notion we can use US Trade policy to help achieve US Foreign Policy goals. It made sense in the Cold War, it is anachronistic notion now.
