“American consumers pay the tariffs in the end.”

Then why does China resist tariffs on their goods and want to place tariffs on incoming goods from the United States?

Why aren’t all the nations jumping up and down to stop all tariffs so they too can have a trade deficit?

Who better to pay taxes than the buyers of imported goods made by foreign workers. That is the most fair tax of all.
