I was only talking about the trade deficit between the US and China not other nations. That is exclusively determined by the dollar amount of goods they purchase from the US and dollar amount we purchase from them. It is readily ascertainable. We have just under a 400 billion dollar imbalance. Where the component parts or material like steel originate from in the end product are irrelevant in a self adjusting staged tariff structure based exclusively on the trade imbalance between the two nations.Hope that clarifies
Understood. Thank you, sir.
By way of my own clarification, I was focusing on the health issues. My husband, a retired Naval aviator, had to have several heavy metals removed from his system last year. Due to that, his health has been much improved. I am now much more alert to maintaining the greatest distance possible between our family and heavy metals.
We also simply like to support AMERICAN steel! :-)
