Its called the carrot and the stick. Trump plans to make the environment in the US as business friendly as possible by lowering corporate taxes and reducing crippling regulations. Thats addressing the root cause.

The stick comes into play if they still wanna leave.

Dang man, you’re dealing with literally decades of federal government economic abuse. You gotta give economic recovery some time, just like it took some time for Reagan’s tax cuts to show the its amazing benefits.

Get the feds out and keep them out. And if we can finally get them out, keep them out - government interference with tariffs do more harm than good.

So many are confused about the effects of foreign subsides and tariffs. Foreign subsides and tariffs are the foreign governments shooting themselves in the foot. Foreign subsidies, ie. socialist economic interference, weakens that country’s economy as does tariffs which artificially force higher prices on the foreign country’s own citizens. Over time, business from a healthy free economy will out compete such artificial, empty measures in both price and quality. Just because they shoot themselves in the foot doesn’t mean we have to.

Countries that engage in such practices hurts themselves (and overall free trade) and those who refuse to do so benefit themselves and free trade.

Also, we don’t have to win in every market area. Some countries are better than others at certain things. Let the voluntary cooperation of buyers and sellers in the open competition of the free market work it out. Just keep government OUT. The consumer will always win, like the American consumer historically always has and why the average American has always been better off than the average citizen anywhere else.
