Yes, Trump is doing the right thing as it was long overdue. I am, however, disappointed that the tariffs are only half of what other countries charge us.

I was hoping for what Trump said he was going to ask, reciprocity. We should match their tariffs exactly—total reciprocity, not half (until they get rid of them entirely).

I’m guessing the choice of half is strategic, using the threat of the other half as leverage in exchange for ???.

Is there something else that Trump sees as a benefit for the USA?
