@dangoodin the problem is they are actually not reciprocal tariffs. What he calls tariffs is actually just trade deficits. The EU does not impose 35% tariffs on the US. What trump is trying to do is equalize trade so Americans buy more American stuff. The problem is tariffs don’t actually achieve that. Instead it will result in Americans paying more for day to day items. If he wants to bring manufacturing back to the US he should do what Biden did with the CHIPS act which incentivised manufacturing of high tech items, which is starting to have an impact in the US
