Is it tariffs on $200 billion per year in goods, or $200 billion in tariff fees?

Many news reports confuse the two.

This is what I was referencing in post 5.

I believe the 200 billion is the total of goods, which will see a new tariff.

After this, there is still another 265 billion or so, which are next. From China, without a tariff yet.

Then, after that, the amount of tarrifs can be increased, by any amount.

So this is just a step, in the long process of bringing production back to the States (or possibly to elsewhere)

I think this is a very good thing, and needs to start immediately.
