More import tariffs. Then after that, more tariffs. Please do it.

I can’t think of a better way to recoup some of the costs we’ve encountered as a result of China’s acts of war. Sadly, until the American people come to grips with what they did, we’ll continue to buy Chinese products, pay the higher prices, and pay the voluntary tax to the Fed’s.
At some point, though, manufacturing will shift elsewhere, and China will be the worse off for it - unless they buy up the foreign manufacturers. They’re not stupid - but this is war, and we need to be in it for the long game, just like they are.

If Trump let it be known, new US policy would continue to be for the US navy to patrol the sea lanes to protect
world shipping US-flagged vessels from piracy, we would be able to derive income from the shipping industry again. Non US-flagged vessels would be hit by higher insurance rates, which would mean higher transport costs for foreign products.
Shippers could continue to receive protection in consideration of a stipulated fee to the US, maybe around $10 million per non US-flagged vessel or they could convince their home countries to launch a seven-seas navy
