Tariffs are the reasons we buy things from China and other places? I'm not quit
e sure I understand.

pa> China's 15% tariff on US cars
pa> India's 60-100% tariff on US vehicles
pa> India's regulations and certification process that stifle American export
pa> China's 8-15% tariff on lumber
pa> Mexico's tariff on steel, pork, cheese
pa> Japan's unique safety and environmental standards that stop US vehicle

My understanding is that Trump's new tariffs are only against Mexico, Canada, an
d China. If India, Japan, and South Korea have tariffs against the US, why don'
t we do the same to them?
