Besides, I thought the whole point of this exercise was to move jobs back to the US by subsidizing otherwise uncompetitive industries. Forcing us to buy from Vietnam instead of China only causes disruption in the market without creating one US job.

Actually, the point of the exercise is to get China to reduce their tariffs and their trade barriers.

No one but your own cheap self is forcing you to buy products from China or Vietnam.

The stated reasons are national security and intellectual property issues, but no matter, whatever the motivation the tariffs aren't going to be cost free to the American consumer, which was the ridiculous premise of the article.
