Yes, with the willing cooperation of The UniParty selling out our Country I might add. And how about allowing CCP to steal from us like Wimpy promising Popeye The Sailor that “someday” they will pay their fair share, while they build their military to destroy us.

If European women don’t start having babies, everything else - from re-industrialization (without workers) to consumer goods (without consumers) to military strength (to defend whom?) - is irrelevant.

I won't defend Europe. They are losing their countries to 'green' socialist agendas and sharia law. Dummies. But, even if they were sticking us with paying their defense and thanking us with tariffs, they were giving the US lots. You see, not only were they buying our debt, but they kept the reserve dollar (backed by nothing) on its throne by making those purchase in American dollars. We have lived pretty nicely thanks to the dollar's "strength". There has not been a one way relationship between the US and Europe.

Hmmm, seems to me it has been kind of like giving us enough rope to hang ourselves.

Not ourselves, the political class, “Hang ‘em High.”

It's not just tarriffs. It takes years to get another country to start buying your product. So I think we should keep the tarriffs on but lower and see if they truly want trade and our products start to be bought. If they begin to be bought then we can go to zero after we show some progress. For now though I wouldn't take them off with Europe. It's a combination of trade deficit with tarriffs that matters not just low tarriffs alone.
