There is nothing wrong with wanting and buying goods from Japan, China, or Mexico. However, it is bad when there is such a huge difference between what we import and export. We clearly need to make better deals. Also, when countries, such as China, manipulate the value of their currencies it really puts the screws to our economy and jobs. This has been happening for a long time and it has slowly taken a toll.
Take away car exports from Japan to the USA and the trade deficit disappears . Fact is Americans WANT Japanese cars , and Japanese don’t want to need US cars .
