    I thought it was a brilliant move by China honestly. They're artificially imposing tariffs on American goods by easing those of the competition. Trump threatened retaliation if further tariffs were imposed, this way they can claim no tariffs

    Well, this is what they're all on about. It has gotten obscene over the past 30 years.

  3. Some of the parts are made overseas, the vehicle is assembled in USA. An import tariff should apply to all imported parts. Fair trade ...

    LOL they import from just the U.S. alone $130 billion.

    Everyone wins when there are less, not more, trade barriers.

    Some of the parts in American cars are made overseas and some American cars are made "overseas" as well, in Canada and Mexico. That's how it's done nowadays. Drumpf still thinks its 1952.
