A 3.1% token reduction on some subset of goods?

We can reciprocate by only raising tariffs 21.9% instead of 25% - but only on the exact same goods, or the same dollar volume of goods, which best serves our interests.

No more small measures - time for big fixes.

25% across the board on 1 January - then just let it sit for two years, while the Treasury rakes in billions, and businesses flood back into the USA.

Maybe China will pull it horns in a bit, from aggressing on our allies, when their budget tightens.

These cuts are not “token” by any means. There is a 27% reduction here which is major by any measure.

It is about a 30% reduction in tariffs 90.03/11 = 27.27%)
It is a start.
