In 2025, President Trump introduced a 10% baseline tariff on all imports from every country, effective April 5, as part of his "reciprocal trade" agenda. The policy aims to reduce trade deficits and boost U.S. manufacturing, but critics warn it could increase household costs and trigger retaliatory trade wars worldwide.

The government should impose a tariff match. If a country is imposing a 20% on the U.S., the U.S. tariff to that country should be 20%.
@B5DVBDN6 days6D
No, the threat of tariffs are leverage for negotiations. Tariffs should not be applied equally, and they should only be applied if an acceptable trade agreement cannot be reached.
@B5CDKNX1wk1W
I believe that tariffs are decent for the economy, and help boost sales of homeland products rather than imports but we should negotiate it better and see where it takes us in the future.
@B5BXP9J1wk1W
Nah we can probably figure out a better way to incentivize primary/secondary sector development. But yeah economy should be mostly tertiary but some people do need Ts jobs ig
@B5BSVK21wk1W
I feel like tariffs should exist as a friendly exchange of countries pleading for help: like a message asking if they can tariff the goods for personal political benefits before acting out of impulse, which will result in a trade war.
@B5BQKZ71wk1W
No, tariffs should only be used for goods that the US can currently provide sufficient production of.
@B5BFTHF1wk1W
No, this will make everything cost too much, and nothing is being done to better manufacturing infrastructure in America, which defeats the purpose anyway.
@B5B3XVM2wks2W
No, instead make our tariffs equal to other countries. If they don't like our tariffs, they should lower theirs.
