True if the tariffs were long term, but these tariffs are a strong negotiation point for new trade agreements. The European nations and Canada cannot afford to lock themselves out of the largest market on earth. They will quickly come to negotiate new trade arrangements with the US that will open their markets to more US goods. We are already seeing Hyundai building a new assembly line plant in the US which makes their vehicles more profitable as they no longer have high shipping costs to US markets and will avoid any US tariffs. I would expect other companies to do the same. I recently had a friend lament how Canada blocking the sale of soft wood pulp to US toilet paper makers as a result of Trump’s tariffs would result in a toilet paper shortage. The question should be where would the Canadians sell this product if not to US toilet paper makers? The Canadians only hurt themselves as the US has vast resources that could soon replace the Canadian wood pulp. The left does not understand how Trump works deals and immediately in their TDS mindset assume that Trump is crazy and is out to ruin the country.
