View original postIf I had to guess, the tariffs and the threat of tariffs are an opening play to revisit negotiations on international trade in general, and to incentivize businesses to bring work within the US. This seems to follow, considering Trump's statements at the address to Congress that he would be matching other countries' tariffs beginning April 2nd, not to mention bragging about companies such as Apple opening up a chip plant in the US.

Have to say after your previous post I wasn't expecting all this. Unless that was just some kind of sarcasm or nihilism that went right over my head, tone can be hard to read online...
