Because doing so would require some bravery and integrity.

    Would that not just make US products more expensive for us? Not that I’m buying many US based goods these days.

    To be honest I don’t even know what are our major imports from America are.

      Yes. That’s the whole idea. It would discourage people from buying products from the USA just like he is discouraging Americans from buying our products.

      I was trying to figure out the same thing, Ford Utes? But they might actually be made somewhere in SEA for all I know given they’re right-hand drive models. Teslas will be coming from there and it would be a good energy move to put tarrifs on electric vehicles imported from USA just to spite space karen. I’m sure there’s plenty of other mundane stuff we just don’t think about.
