Dated story from 2010 but the official U.S. International Trade Commission is down,undergoing maintenance. Would have been the best place for tariff data.

No one is expecting “perfect free trade”.

We are expecting FAIR TRADE

I say put the highest tariff on all products coming from any country that they put on any of ours, be that 1% or 1000%.

[Tac Double Tap]

Anyone who thinks a 600 BILLION deficit is fare trade is living in la, la land.

Prior to 1916 our entire government was funded completely by tariffs.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

So 20% is something to be up in the are and harping about but 104% is just peachy.

Go play with the foxes.

[McGavin999]

I like the idea of reciprocal. You charge us 10% we charge you 10%, charge 25% we charge you 25%. That is fair trade

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Sugar should be on the list too.
 

[Crucial]

These seem to be very targeted tarrifs on the whole.

Trump is right on tariffs — That’s why he was elected

President Trump is simply doing what he said he would do during the presidential campaign – protecting American workers and safeguarding our national security, all at the same time.

The Trump administration, in fact, has a clear and important goal in mind: to protect U.S. jobs and industries that we must have in this country for vital national security reasons.

First, as Peter Navarro pointed out recently to Fox News, the U.S. aluminum industry is down to less than 10 percent of fulfilling our own domestic demand. Six smelters have stopped production since 2013, leaving our nation with only five remaining.

And only two of those smelters are in actual working order. Our steel industry has shed thousands of jobs for decades, and is under real threat of someday being destroyed in the coming years unless it is protected in some reasonable way.

Second, our nation’s security is at stake if these industries were to disappear. As one senior White House official explained to me just this week, this could be a matter of life or death for our country.

Personal question.

What do you think of the new Para Ord LDA?

I don’t want food from foreign countries except for what we can’t grow here.

“Fair” is where the pigs f***.

Thanks for posting (or re-posting) this article. It's a good reminder to those who are getting hysterical over Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs that we already have tariffs in place in several key industries.

Free trade zealots claim that Trump's steel tariff will make cars unaffordable to the average American. We have tariffs in place on many of our agricultural products, and our produce and meat is cheaper than those of most other high-income nations.
