Since we no longer actually make anything, American companies will likely work around counter tariffs in the same way. For instance if the EU puts a tariff on blue jeans, Levi Strauss will probably just ship directly from Vietnam where they are made.I knew China did that, but who else? China is not even among the top 10 that import steel to the U.S.You negotiate from a position of strength. We've been in a trade war for 30 years - we just haven't acted like it. Yesterday Trump rattled the protectionist saber. We've been hosed in trade for decades. This is all about getting better trade deals.This is the ONLY place I've heard a positive spin on this decision. Hope it works.
No more dumping your subsidized goods on us and call it a level playing field.
A few years back Barack Hussein slapped tariffs on chinese steel. it caused a shift...China now exports steel to South Korea and the Philippines who in turn export steel to the US.
