That's called a tariff- barrier.

Creating the need for it would be considered starting it, no? What was the need, what was the problem and how did raising tariffs solve it?

The problem with you logic is if you stay the course in the long run you are the winner.

The tariff reversal was announced at 1:18 today. However at 1:05, there was a very large uptick in s&p500 volume. Someone had inside information. Who do you think it was?

It's fairly simple and I'll spell it out for those that don't understand. The process is used to create equal trade with other countries whether it be their tariffs, VATS, excise fees, or non-tariff barriers. Obviously, it will fluctuate depending on the country with whom they are speaking. As reiterated today, this is to make all countries successful.. including us.

Thank you for pointing out the problem with restrictive trade. No one wants to export past a certain number if they are then penalized for any additional product imported to the said country.

Equal trade requires equal resources, equal need, and equal ability to pay. When you are the largest economy in the world there isn’t much that will be equal. Unfortunately, that requires a level of understanding that is beyond “fairly simple”.

Nope. Binary condition - there are or there are not. Yesterday there were, today there are not. Tomorrow… ?

EDIT: Sure, there is a promise of more ignorance to come, but that is a given.

And that's why each case will be negotiated separately for those who have not been paying attention.
