This. That's so stupid, what once each and every country has tariffs ?

    It's funny how many people think the US is doing something new, and not just catching up with the rest of the world.

      The 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".

      There's no "catching up", the US also already had tariffs inline with other developed nations.

      Catching 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?
