As Benjamin Franklin said: "No nation was ever ruined by trade." Throughout history, the wealthiest nations and empires were those that grew up on the trade routes... Trade creates wealth, and anything -- like tariffs -- that interferes with trade destroys wealth... It's not complicated.
To review: "Trade creates wealth, and anything -- like tariffs -- that interferes with trade destroys wealth..." Orange Hitler is a doddering imbecile who clearly has no idea what he is doing...
So, no, he is not correct.
See? Now it wasn't' so difficult to admit that redressing the balance of trade is 'wrong' simply because it's Trump doing it instead of -- say -- Dementia Joe or nation-hating Barack Obama.
What in God's name are you gibbering about? TARIFFS. ARE. BAD! ORANGE. HITLER. IS A MORON! Which part of this is going over your pointed head? Try to grasp a simple idea: Trade is GOOD; Protectionism is BAD! There is no such thing "trade imbalance." You and Orange Hitler and the imbecile Navarro desperately need some remedial Economics...
