Here we go. trump started a trade war and now he has one. This man has got to be one of the stupidest humans to ever sit in the WH.
We’ve been in a trade war for the last 50 years….and we’ve been losing.
Now we fight back.

Alrighty, "reciprocal" means what to you?
In a way the rest of the world is like junkies, and we are the fix. The cracks in our system showed under Joe. Inflation that is low is just about tolerable. inflation that still persists although somewhat lower is still not.

Uh, Canada already had tariffs against the USA, as well as many other import restrictions.
You have no idea how much Canada restricts business in from doing business in Canada.

How did your country get to be the richest country in the world if you've "been losing" this mythical trade war for 50 years? American corporations have made more money in the history of the nation in the past 50 years.
The USA has more billionaires and millionaires than any country on earth. How did that happen if you've been getting "screwed over" by your trading partners.
And still you continue to parrot Trump's lies and bullshit.

They will not remove them. WE will pay for them. The Moron in Chief will not.
There are other taxes also we pay. Including VAT taxes to countries involved.

You are not paying value added taxes for anyone, other than taxes levied by the US, assuming, of course you really are in the USA, which I seriously doubt.

You don't pay VAT's to other countries.
VAT's are added in the jurisdiction where the goods are sold. If I buy something in Canada, I pay Goods and Service Tax on that purchase, regardless of where it was made. Americans don't pay Canadian VAT's, unless they are shopping in Canada.
Only food is exempt from VAT's. And that's grocery store food. Restaurant meals, snack foods, and preprepared foods are taxed.
Not everything is about billionaires and corporate bottom line.
I care more about the middle class and jobs.

This would mean Canada is reducing its tariffs on the US.

From Trump and the Republican Party’s point of view, it’s ALL about the billionaires. Trump didn’t do jack shit for the workers the first time he was in office. He didn’t have Americans union leaders sitting behind him in that church on inauguration day.
Off shoring continued unabated during his first term. The manufacturing sector lost 200,000 jobs in Trump’s last trade war, and was set back to 2009 in terms of overall production jobs.
Trump promised to wipe out the trade deficit but his first trade war actually increased the US trade deficit by 40% and that part of the economy has NOT recovered from Trump’s first economic collapse.
The US manufacturing sector was in a recession in late 2019, BEFORE the pandemic hit. The economic collapse that occurred during the pandemic gave cover to the disaster that was Trump’s first trade war.
This time, the effects are impossible to miss.
