No one is expecting “perfect free trade”.
We are expecting FAIR TRADE
I say put the highest tariff on all products coming from any country that they put on any of ours, be that 1% or 1000%.
Anyone who thinks a 600 BILLION deficit is fare trade is living in la, la land.
Prior to 1916 our entire government was funded completely by tariffs.
Go play with the foxes.
I like the idea of reciprocal. You charge us 10% we charge you 10%, charge 25% we charge you 25%. That is fair trade
These seem to be very targeted tarrifs on the whole.
Trump is right on tariffs — Thats why he was elected
President Trump is simply doing what he said he would do during the presidential campaign protecting American workers and safeguarding our national security, all at the same time.
The Trump administration, in fact, has a clear and important goal in mind: to protect U.S. jobs and industries that we must have in this country for vital national security reasons.
First, as Peter Navarro pointed out recently to Fox News, the U.S. aluminum industry is down to less than 10 percent of fulfilling our own domestic demand. Six smelters have stopped production since 2013, leaving our nation with only five remaining.
And only two of those smelters are in actual working order. Our steel industry has shed thousands of jobs for decades, and is under real threat of someday being destroyed in the coming years unless it is protected in some reasonable way.
Second, our nations security is at stake if these industries were to disappear. As one senior White House official explained to me just this week, this could be a matter of life or death for our country.

Personal question.
What do you think of the new Para Ord LDA?
I don’t want food from foreign countries except for what we can’t grow here.
Fair is where the pigs f***.
Free trade zealots claim that Trump's steel tariff will make cars unaffordable to the average American. We have tariffs in place on many of our agricultural products, and our produce and meat is cheaper than those of most other high-income nations.
