I think lower regulations and incentives will help. I think high tariffs in general are a bad idea & is just more money from us to big government. Now the pendulum has swung way too far towards globalism. It needs to move back and we need enough key products made here from a national security standpoint if nothing else. But I don’t think all products have to be made in the US. It’s not an all or nothing situation. Trump is moving the pendulum which is great and is in the opening salvo of statements to influence negotiations on trade.
Mexico is a separate case. They have screwed us because of illegal immigration and will have to compensate us for a wall or whatever it takes to enforce the border. I like Mexican financial transaction taxes or other means targeted at Mexico paying rather than us.
Mexican financial transaction taxes seem like a much better idea.
You’re right. It makes them pay instead of us.
I’ll be in the minority here, but I think a low key meeting and a single statement on the tax would have been better than putting this whole thing in the spotlight.
But what do I know :)
