CHINA ALREADY TARIFFS IMPORTS FROM THE USA SO THEY CAN’T RETALIATE. SO THREATEN THEM NOW WITH RETALIATORY TARIFFS ( AND MEAN IT) SO THEY DROP THEIR TARIFFS ON US. NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT ON THE PRESSURE, IT IS CALLED THE ART OF THE DEAL, INSTEAD OF BEND OVER AND SQUEAL.
Correct me if I'm mistaken but I do believe we've been hearing that for a long time now, that that China didn't just raise those taxes on imports last month causing a drop in our factory orders this month. So if those chicom import taxes you're referring to have been around a while and they were low enough that they haven't prevented buying U.S. exports, then that would mean we could in fact hurt ourselves by starting an import tax war.
