The problem is that Trump doesn’t understand what “tariffs” are, and thinks that a trade imbalance is somehow a tariff. Trying to comply would be like Mattingly trying to trim his sideburns.
Yeah the US has a population 350 million which is one of the highest in the world. There are going to be trade imbalances because we will be consuming more stuff than other countries with much lower populations.
I own a computer store. There is a guy outside that shines shoes. I pay him about $30 a year to shine my shoes. Business has been pretty good and I like nice shoes. He never buys a computer from me (says he cannot afford it).
Clearly he is taking advantage of me because we have a huge trade imbalance. Nasty, nasty guy. I am hitting him with tariffs soon.
