It sounds like there are two issues at work here:
1) The current business environment in the U.S. which is encumbered by high taxation and over regulation.
2) The trade agreements with our trading partners.

If a trading partner is effectively blocking our goods we need to rectify that especially in large emerging markets like India and China. We also need to fix the root causes of the exodus of our manufacturing base.

Root-cause high costs from government interference should be our focus.

But it would help if people understood that reciprocal tariffs are like each trading partner shooting themselves in the foot. Tariffs do more harm than good to the country imposing the tariff. Again a tariff is a tax and raises the price of goods to the consumer so the consumer loses, their quality of life is lowered, and the economy as a whole is harmed.
