So, tarrifs are understandable when countries in Europe want to bolster local industries and decrease reliance on foreign countries, but not when the US does the same?
What tarrifs would you like to see implemented to achieve this effect, and how would they differ from the current administration's approach that apparently "looked like trump high on meth"?
No one would have been surprised if the US had increased tariffs on airplanes to cushion Boeing’s failings, understanding that this specific sector may be seen as vital interests. Europe could have replied with tariffs on space launches to avoid reliance on space-x in an equally strategic sector.
On the other hand, blanket tariffs levied on countries rather than specific industries don’t look like they serve a specific industrial policy.
