The risk is that our trading partners would fight back with their own tariffs,

Our exports to almost every country on earth are subject to heavy tariffs now. What kind of idiots do you think we are?

Every tariff in place hurts both sides. Yes, both we and the other countries would be even better off if both sides got rid of their tariffs.

But even if other countries don’t get rid of their tariffs, we will benefit by not having tariffs of our own.
