My prediction is that our most traded-with countries will be negotiating for 0% tariffs, for both us and them. Do you think it’s fair for our farmers/auto makers/or any manufacturer in the US to have countries apply tariffs on our products? Of course not and that’s what’s going on now. FREE trade between everybody is the goal then everyone benefits.

That is a bright positive scenario that I HOPE happens, but I doubt that it does. America has shot itself in the foot, financially speaking. Canada will NEVER trust the US again and cross border vacation travel will take YEARS to correct. We will again take on the nickname of "ugly American. I noticed that Russia did NOT get ANY tariff. Why are we tariffing our friends and NOT our enemies? There are international psychology situations going on here. France wants to separate Europe from America because they can't trust America to keep its treaty promises. Personally, I think that it will take a LONG, LONG time to UNWIND this situation.
