- bestouff 1y agoThis. That's so stupid, what once each and every country has tariffs ?
- EA-3167 1y agoThat... is broadly already the case, with a few exceptions in central Africa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tariff_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tariff_ra...
- aaronbaugher 1y agoIt's funny how many people think the US is doing something new, and not just catching up with the rest of the world.
- bryanlarsen 1y agoThe western world's average tariff rate is generally around 1.5%. Increasing this by an order of magnitude is something new, and a lot more than "catching up".

- kalleboo 1y agoThere's no "catching up", the US also already had tariffs inline with other developed nations.
- aredox 1y agoCatching up? They are regressing to the level of "the rest of the world". Do you think the USA isn't the best nation on Earth?
- bitshiftfaced 1y agoWhen people refer to "tariffs," they're talking about when a country puts a tax on imports coming from a particular country. Are you saying Canada should tax Honda specifically (and not, for example, other car manufacturers like Toyota)?
- Pet_Ant 1y agoYes, tax Honda specifically. I mean, it can't just tax Honda specifically as a "bill of attainder" issue, so it'd need to be phrased as something like "companies whose production has been deemed transferred due to foreign tarrifs".
