WASHINGTON - Republican Sen. Mike Rounds on Sunday said President Donald Trump needs to explain his "endgame" to the American people when it comes to imposing tariffs on goods from foreign countries and said the U.S. should "quit fighting with Mexico and Canada."

What the “endgame” on income, corporate , payroll , whatever tax that Americans have to pay ?
I thought I followed politics rather closely, but I have never heard of Senator Mike Rounds. I find he is from South Dakota. I think he should run for state office there.
GOP senator wants Trump to explain ‘endgame’ on tariffs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Duh?
He should use the I-Ching.
When Mike Rounds gets in front of a camera and gives his support to the POTUS against Mueller, then I will give a shit what he has to say about trade.
What state is Rounds from? The guy should embarrassed having made the comment!!!!!

Thank you.
If not resolved, the ethnic Chinese in places like Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan will figure out ways to circumvent these tariffs by disguising U.S. shipments as being of Canadian, Australian or E.C. origin.
U.S. agricultural exports will still be hurt, but not as much.
Now, watch India step up to the plate and start taking over some of the Chinese markets in the U.S.A. They aren't stupid either.
Maybe you shouldn't take RINO positions to make your arguments.
You say you have business experience, do you know what a captive company is? Imagine a Country that is in fact a Captive entity, then try and imagine what it means to a country to not be dependent on an enemy for its survival. That is what Trump recognizes, you don't apparently. We idon'thave a steel industry that can stand alone and produce all our needs.
Well I think if we had to, we and our NATO allies could produce all the steel we need within a couple of years, and while we’re expanding production we could import the remaining steel from our Asian allies, Japan and South Korea. Within a few more years, the US could produce all the steel we use domestically. Most steel is just a commodity product produced with a process that we’ve been using for decades.
It’s more the high-strength specialty metals, used in military hardware, that we need to make sure we can produce in ample amounts here in America—titanium and aluminum for aircraft parts, and specialty high-strength steels. I don’t know what the regulations are for defense contractors, but they should be required to buy all those specialty metals from domestic producers.
That is like what we are doing now. We need to be self sufficient in those vital products. Being dependent on anyone, friend or foe, for strategic materials is really stupid.
Somebody’s 401K got a little rattled?
