Good move. Level the playing field. Put the same costs on foreign manufacturers that are mandated for America manufacturers. If American companies have to pay extra environmental, health care, taxes and regulatory costs then put the same dollar load on foreign companies. Its like States do on equalize sales taxes with compensating use taxes.

I appreciate the concerns many have with jobs being outsourced and all, but this is nothing more than capitulation to the unions, and sets a dangerous precedent. We’ve got to be competitive in a global economy, and protectionism isn’t going to work in the long run.

Personally I see no problem with tariffs. This is how the federal government was originally funded. Now if only income taxes could be rolled back more.

Frankly, they should ban Chinese imports and exports.

This is a political move by Obama, to help his standing with the rust belt.
It is not protectionism, because China is but one country. If we want cheap tires we can get them from South Korea. True protectionism would require tariffs on all foreign tires, including those European Michelins.
Smoot-Hawley was across the board and everywhere.

I’m sure the unions asked him to do it. BTW, I need new tires for my Nissan Titan. Mostly city and highway driving. Any economical suggestions?

"the U.S. will impose a 35% tariff on imported Chinese tires used by millions of low-income Americans."
That's a dishonest editorial. I pay as little for better, non-Chinese tires. Fascist traitors against our Nation are raking in huge margins on the Chinese tires.
I ran out of patience for the dirty, anti-defense, anti-American business deals, vulgar language, distraction propaganda full of personality issues, encouragements for organized crime in so many locales (HOAs, impact fees, builders'/real estate rackets, etc.) and same anti-conservative attitudes that Democrats display (anti-family, false morality, nature-worshiping,...). Generally, the political minds of both political parties are acting like some of the evil characters portrayed as heroes on television.
This is not the country that I grew up in.
