The point of tariffs is not to move factories from China to India. The point is to move them from China AND India back to America.

We're losing the plot here.

Yes- it looks like the DC poohbahs are anxious to trade more American jobs and wealth for a foreign policy "victory".

We need a law requiring tariffs on manufactured goods until the trade balance is equal that applies to all countries.

I’m more worried about allowing Indians into America right now.

Most people don’t understand the concept of externalities. The US has laws that control the amount of particulates that we discharge into the atmosphere. India and China do not, but we pay for it. Look at the particulates dumped into the air by India and China and compare that to the US:

(You can drag the globe with your cursor.) It’s like having a public swimming pool with India and Chine and the US holding up a “No Peeing Zone” sign.
