If I were in charge of a country subject to new tariffs, I would consider playing it differently. Rather than applying punitive tariffs back, I would consider trying to get US manufacturers that are affected to the tariffs to move to my country and export finished products to the US. After all, the nonsensical structure of Trump’s tariffs may be more harmful to the US than to anyone else.


The problem with that is timing. Politically, people demand action now - like, this week. Getting a business to move takes months to years.
