“and allow more time for negotiators to reach a deal. “
The negotiations can re-commence after the tariffs are imposed. Then maybe it won’t require all that much time to reach a deal.
As easily as Trump puts the tariffs on, he can take them off.
Art of the deal anyone? You never negotiate from a position of weakness, which is what will happen if Trump caves on this.
Hit them where it hurts & hit them hard.
Screw the RINOs
