    Other nations need to stop playing and just wrip up all trade deals with the US and just move on. We’re not going to learn until everyone moves on without us.

      If enough countries tariffed the hell out of US goods and services, this shit would stop. When corporate America starts yelling at the congressmen they bought because they’re no longer making any money — congress would suddenly remember they are the ones who legally control the power to set and repeal tariffs, not the president.

        Don’t tariff just stop doing business all together. Let those ships pull in, then return to sender.

          I am not sure if this is possible. It’s private individuals which are doing business in most cases.

            Huh? Why can’t imports be banned? If my country bans imports (it has), then I cannot get around it by inly dealing with citizens.

            Trade deals take years to make and are thousands of pages for a reason. Very few legal things enter a modern country without it being on a federal trade deal. These governments can 100% just send back everything made in the US. But remember, it’s a big ask for those in power only cares about money and now power. So it won’t happen.
