The Tarrifs will not show weakness by being lower than what Trump targets, but they are not designed to tax harder than Trump decides to tax so as to not escalate. Instead the goal is to keep retalitory Tarrifs equivalent to whatever the US slaps on Canada, Mexico and EU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example Sanctions on Russia over Crimeia and now Sanctions on Iran again Germany holds huge influence over what happens in Europe not because they threaten the EU with their big military but because they have a large powerful economy Economic power can be flexed with relative ease... Military in the 21st century not so much so, you have to be prepared to face consequences if you do! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woolfsmck 2,763 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 No tarriffs, barriers, restriction? No reply except from German Auto Makers who would welcome it, and I bet Japanese,Korean and Italian would like the idea of a "free" US consumer market. like a cat in a sil, I observe life, moving and still. My words give a clue,look inside to see whats true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
