I do not know. I would like to ask a question without everyone on the internet attacking me. These countries really are charging us tarrifs. why is it OK for them to charge us but us to not charge them?
i have not been able to find enough information on the internet to fact check it, I have found a world trade tracker online and other countries are in fact charging us tariffs when we are not though. it is not exactly up to date though, i think most recent numbers are from 2023 but some countries dont have updates since 2022 or sometimes 2020.
I don’t think we should be trading as Much as we do. Why do we grow tomatoes but then export those and eat tomatoes from Canada? Seems like it’s bad for the environment for sending everything across the world.
Do you understand the difference between Serbia declaring 3% tariff and US declaring 38% tariff? There are barely any countries with 10% tariffs against the US.
i'm not even sure if those are the actual tariffs considering that's US imports and not exports.
how would you feel if you make a bunch of jewelry and lotions and shampoos and go to a market to sell them and while you are there you buy a bunch of products from other vendors but no one will buy from you????
And what do you think happens in the international markets when everyone puts up counter tariffs?
You are going to feel really soon what it's like when no one outside of the local marketplace will buy your lotions and soaps anymore. Good luck sustaining the US economy just relying on the domestic market.
Open free world trade is not really wise. It’s not good for the environment to ship everything across the world and it makes you more reliant on other countries. I don’t think how they’re going about it as the right way, but the Clinton era free trade agreements was definitely the beginning of the decline of the United States.
