I think most of us here would agree that there has been some pain from the tariffs Trump imposed. And most of us probably think we've been getting a raw deal from some of our trading partners.
I know some about tariffs, and I've also studied some on the dangers of protectionism.
So my question is; what are our options? If we impose tariffs on them, it can hurt our industries as it has thus far. I suspect Trump believes he will get eventual concessions from other countries that will make the current pain worthwhile. But will he? Will his gamble eventually pay off?
What other means do we have to level the playing field with our trading partners?
