This is dumb. Europe, Canada, and Mexico are not China, and you don't treat allies the same way you treat opponents. We've been down this road before -- blanket protectionism is a big part of why America had a Great Depression. ' Make America Great Again' shouldn't mean' Make America 1929 Again,' bad news that @POTUS has decided to impose taxes on American consumers buying steel and aluminum from our closest allies -- Canada, the EU, and Mexico( with whom we run a trade surplus on steel). In addition to higher prices, these tariffs invite retaliation.
