If the result is American factories producing those products, we shouldn’t be in any big hurry to lower the tariffs. After all, whats good for the goose is good for the gander.
This is the beauty of having Trump leading our trade efforts. He understands the whole picture. Volkswagen builds and wholesales the car to the US, but in the US there are thousands of jobs related to the import, sales and service of Volkswagen.
Steel is manufactured in China which is important to countless jobs in the Oil and Gas industry.
When Trump sets tariffs, those in the US negatively affected squeal. He understands and will do an excellent job of managing the reins with just the right amount of pressure to achieve the desired overall results. It will be a bouncy ride, but the US will end up on top.
Either way more Americans end up working. Keep the tariff and more Lincolns and Caddies will be sold domestically. Lift the tariff, and the EU does like wise, means more exports of cars and even more employment. win - win either way.
