I thought Cruz came out for ‘fair trade’, that is raising tariff’s in retaliation to nations raising their’s against us.
I wouldn’t object to a tit-for-tat targeted tariff, but Trump went further than that. He said to stop a U.S. company from going overseas, he would promise to put a tariff on any goods they tried to import here. That isn’t a trade war with a foreign country. That’s punishing an American company. This is not a communist country. We don’t build walls to keep people in.
