This is one of the most surface-level understandings of national economics that I have seen. Sure, all of that would be great, if not for two things a) these tariffs are not targeted and b) your country could produce everything that it is tariffing. What is the plan for cocoa beans? bananas? aluminum and steel?
These thinly veiled pro-trump people are much too common the internet and I'm getting tired of it.
- hippo22 1y agoThe US makes both aluminum and steel FYI. I don’t think banana tariffs are going to make a huge difference either way.
- mrstone 1y agoThey sure do, but not enough to be self sustaining, and tariffs aren't going to magically produce more aluminum and steel. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47294 https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R47294. Canadian aluminum is critical to the US supply. Bananas may not matter (to you), but coffee certainly will.
