This is how narrow minded you are - the reason behind the tariffs, we are being told, is for a reset in the world economy which has partly been down to it's mis-management BY left-wing governments.

Unless you know of another reason and you can PROVE it, we have to go with the explanation from the US government, why they have put the tariffs in place.

What Trump is doing is a left-wing policy. Many unions in the US are behind him - but you're so blinded by hatred to see or accept that.
Glad to see youve found your big boy pants and are now bwave enough to read my posts.

Ive read about 10 different explanations for why Trump is doing what he is doing. The very last one I would believe is the *official explanation*

The most plausible to me is that he is doing what he is doing because he can. Someone in his inner circle at some point said to him that the president had the power to impose all sorts of tariffs on all sorts of countries without the need for congressional approval.

It appeals to his vanity that he thinks leaders from all over the world will be knocking on his door begging for a few presidential favours. Market turmoil and economic chaos are just collateral damage.
