I don’t get the outrage. Trump did this with Mexico. He imposed tariffs and then immediately eased them when Mexico started negotiating. It worked. Wouldn’t a rational market understand his behavior by now (not agree with it, but understand it). Especially since his stated goal has been “impose tariffs to spur renegotiation of trade terms”. Why would a rational market actor be acting like Trump isn’t doing what he’s said he’s doing?
- amanaplanacanal 2y agoSure. Trump is trying to renegotiate the trade deals with Mexico and Canada that he himself negotiated during his last term, by unilaterally imposing massive tariffs. Why are you pretending that this makes any sense?
