He wants reciprocity — you tariff me, I tariff you. It’s not just for grins.
Get back to the original point: why is it acceptable for other countries to levy tariffs against the US but not the other way around?
- sveme 8y agoBut both sides already levy tariffs on the other side, just with different emphasises. Look at US truck tariffs as an example.
- kasey_junk 8y agoThe original point is that you are factually wrong. We already had tariffs on g7 countries. The country we have the least trade barriers in the world is Canada. He started a trade war with them. He ran on a platform of ending free trade agreements & protectionist policies. He’s enacting them. So it’s hard to take him serious when he suggests a free trade agreement with the g7 as a throwaway talking point.
- s2g 8y ago> you tariff me, I tariff you Really, cause they described Trudeau as stabbing them in the back and said there is a special place in hell for people like him. He said Canada would respond with tariffs after Trump put in tariffs.
