Finally someone sees it.
Trump does not want to start a trade war, he's trying to end a war already in progress.
These countries have high tariffs and restrictions against American goods, Trump's goal is to make them lower or eliminate their barriers. Then he'll lower ours.

But what if the tariff brings in tremendous amount of new federal revenue? What if income taxes are lowered in response to this? History tell us income tax rate reductions conversely INCREASE federal revenue. So what if that income tax cut leads to a balanced budget? Maybe the tariff will become permanent! I hope so!
