| Message | Do we need to explain the thing about us importing a lot from a country and exporting very little and their taking advantage of that to force us to drop tariffs again? Like it or not the very nature of trade and its economic impact demands flexibility and careful consideration of all circumstances, not blanket ideologically-based policies. |
