Someone explain tariffs on free trade...
Aren't tariffs enacted to protect I dunno those at home from being hurt by competition? Like if products are sold cheaper elsewhere or people prefer things overseas, wouldn't that hurt the American worker? Then in order to protect them they would add tariffs on foreign goods selling those products which I guess will dissuade those from selling here and sort of force people to buy local or something like that, no?
US imports more stuff from everywhere else more than it exports to anywhere else because of supply and demand for cheaper/better quality stuff. I see Trump talk of farmers and unfair trade but other countries have their own farmers too...
