Starting April 9, 2025, President Trump’s plan imposes higher "reciprocal tariffs" on countries like China (34%), Japan (24%), and others, calculated based on trade imbalances. Supporters argue it levels the playing field, while opponents fear it could destabilize economies and raise costs for consumers globally.

yes if a countries gdp is high and they are no longer considered a "poor" country then we should not allow large trade deficits to occur with them. Very poor nations with low human development and low gdp we can allow larger trade deficits with them
@B5WDD242wks2W
Yes, and adjust them yearly based on trade balance changes, but exempt vital supply chain items like pharmaceutical drugs and put policies in place to ease the pain it risks for consumers: offering grocery financial assistance for instance

We should lay any debts we owe and debts owed to us should be paid. These power battles only hurt the American people.

As a rule? No. If another nation has aggressive tariffs on our goods, I would be open to using tariffs to get them to remove theres

No, imposing tariffs on such a high production country such as china is also greatly affecting the average American consumer.

I don't agree with heavy handed risky political moves. But, I'm also not fully conversational on the subject to know when such a move is absolutely required.
@B5XXSFR5 days5D
We should do business with China or anny other nation that treats its people poorly, and the government should make it a challenging as possible to do business with China.

"Security Bridge Fair Trade Framework"
"Yes, but as part of a comprehensive trade strategy focused on reciprocity and fairness, not just blanket protection. Implement a baseline 10% tariff that gets reduced or eliminated for countries that provide truly reciprocal trade terms - same tariffs they charge us, same market access, same labor/environmental standards. Use tariff revenue to fund domestic infrastructure, innovation, and worker retraining programs. Countries that engage in currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, or unfair labor practices face higher tariffs. Those that trade fairly get preferential access. The goal isn't protectionism - it's ensuring American workers and businesses compete on a level playing field, not against subsidized foreign competitors or slave labor."
