I actually agree with you in principle. I think the universal tariffs on aluminum, steel and solar panels could be repealed, with the exception of turkey, china and other bad actors. Also, does he need to charge French fine cheese and wine at 100% because the French are imposing a THREE percent excise on American revenues derived in France??? If that were particularly burdensome for our companies, I would just charge a 3 to 4 percent tariff on all French-made goods, in addition to other tariffs previously imposed on them.
As far as China goes, I would be fine with him immediately taking the 25% tariff he has on some Chinese imports and imposing it on ALL Chinese goods. We can call it the National Security Tax on all that junk we buy from them. And it will be fun watching Gary Kaltbaum whine about it on FOX Business.
Don't know the details but perhaps it is a dollar-for-dollar tariff.
