He's just returning things to the way they were when Americans made all the products they needed. I'm not sure it will be successful because we have manufacturing jobs unfilled right now.
I don't understand why some think it is okay for other countries to charge the US tariffs but it is a bigly sin for USA to charge the same tariff to those same countries.
If we are gonna have free trade then lets have it....what we have had for the last 30yrs is not free trade. It is stick it to the US and send our jobs overseas trade deals.
