    Canada levies a tariff of 270 percent on milk, 245 percent on cheese and 298 percent on butter in an effort to keep U.S. and other foreign dairy imports out. And people get upset about the US wanting to put a tariff out there to get the attention of the real offenders of unfair trade

    The one area where I disagree with Trump.

    He still believes that cars, manufacturing and other labor intensive jobs can make a come back in America.

    if you look at the world through his lens, America was great when we built shit.

    He's not eh o my one who thinks that.

    Amdn not sure he is entirely wrong about it.

    The fact is, there are, and for the foreseeable future, will be, WAY more people who have no role in an Tech/services economy than those who do.

    And our economic relations with china go well beyond IP theft.

    Our exports go through vetting and more economically inefficient bullshit than you can shake a stick at.
    Fuck this damn phone!^
    Engrish matters!

    Oh and phones are EVIL incarnate!

    Well, OK, but how tangible is this? We have our own exclusive rules too, you know. I believe an example is the "buy USA" law which makes it illegal to buy foreign crap like cars for government. My information obtained by the NY Times is that far from running a deficit, we in fact running a trade surplus. The dumbfuck known as our president, by the way, omits services in his distortions of reality.

    Please to be explaining how that is unfair? It's their country. Just one it's our country. Abs we have a leader, your hero, making trade wars out of nothing for no reason other than to flex his muscle. And idiots like you stroke off to it.

    The Canadian and US dairy markets are both propped up by their respective governments. One through tariffs and quotas the other from targeted subsidies. Pick your poison.

    If the others tax our exports to them at high rates why shouldn't we be making some money off of them as well?

    yes the idea is doing a number of things to incentivize industry within this country its pretty simple

    china enslaves their people and destroys the planet so that americans can acquire slightly cheaper consumer garbage in exchange for dollars which they use strategically to improve their military, increase their manufacturing base, buy up crucial strategic long-term assets across the globe such as raw material sources
    how is this setup good for anyone?

    Currency manipulation.
