Free trade agreements take many years to negotiate, Trump effectively kill off the free trade agreements they had over night and kicked off a trade war .

Trump seemed to think export countries paid the Tariff but seem he might have realised that is not the case and now he is complaining that the likes of Walmart are going to raise prices

As for Trumps overall policy he seems to make it up as he goes, tariffs go on, tariffs get delayed, tariffs go up and down so no one knows what is going on. It's a chaos clown show.

Started out the tariffs was because of fentanyl and immigration, then it was about bring jobs back but there seems to be no strategic reason or logic. The fact that he flip flops all over the place highlights that.

Tariff's that are targeted can produce positive outcomes but Trump is using blanket tariff with no specific goal other than raise revenue but the problem with that is that it's consumers that are paying the tariff via higher cost

Make me laugh that you defend the fat orange turd you worship no matter what

They were free trade agreements only in name, not in reality. If trade was free there would be no need for agreements!

People and companies would just order what they want and need from each country and wait for it to arrive. !

We don't live in a free trade world, we never have, what is so hard to understand about this?
