TOTAL BS! This is how trade wars END you dummies! We have an $800 billion a year trade deficit with the world ... the war is raging. We can’t sell frozen pizzas to the Eurozone! Trump is RETURNING the trade salvo. He’s putting an END to this totally unfair trade situation and making America Economically Great Again. With the tariff in place he can then say, “you want it removed? Talk to me about how you are going to remove YOUR tariff or rule.”
Even Rio Vista can understand that if a Ford Mustang has a 60% tariff in the E.U. but German Cars have 15% duty in the U.S., something is definitely not right.
Building cars in the U.S. is a gimmick only, if say, a BMW built and shipped from Europe is the same price as one built here from imported "parts."
Tariff Temporal Reciprocity is the simple, bulletproof answer.
