Wait, so your first step is for other countries to remove their subsidies/tariffs but the US doesn't do the same? How well do you think that will fly in those countries? If you mean you'd like to see the US and those countries both drop tariffs and protections, I can see you argument - but that's the opposite of the direction things are going today so I don't see the relevance. Even if it were not, it's hard to argue against a countries legitimate security concerns in some areas, although clearly that argument can be abused (again, cf current rhetoric).
