    As an American, I don’t see a choice. This is a trade war, shots were fired. I hope it’s a short war.

      These trade wars are seldom short, they are easy to start but hard to stop. Look up Chicken Tax (started in 1960s)

        All we need to look up is the fact that Biden kept a lot of Trump’s tariffs. That’s not a slander on Biden, just fact. Most people don’t understand that you can’t just shock entire industries overnight with knee jerk trade policies.
