    The tariffs only would have been higher because the same idiot that got the deal made the tariffs higher to begin with.

    The only sort of lucky part for us Americans is if it’s approved we got the better end of the deal, but ultimately we’re going to be paying higher prices for things we’re likely unable to produce. Although I get the feeling that Italian Marble and French Wines will suddenly be exempt from tariffs.

      I mean yeah but if Trump had set the tariffs at higher then that would’ve been worse than the current tariff deal.

      Zero tariffs would’ve been best or maintaining the tariffs that were there before. But still 15% is better than 30%.
