Besides America

Okay, real talk

i dont get the question

What’s “Alimium”?

aluminum spelled horribly wrong

It's about the marketplace.

😂

all countries use steel and aluminum, they are very common metals

thats still wrong, peper

If America is the main consumer of these metals then America can afford to raise tariffs.

aluminium*

but that rises prices on those metals

For the people selling

which increase the cost for manufactories like Ford or Boeing

if you want to protect steel and aluminum jobs in the US there are other things you can do besides slapping tarrifs everywhere

tarrifs are just a brute force way to do it, and i would argue not the best

aluminium*

shush

you could subsidize the steel and aluminum companies, you couldalso offer tax breaks to companies that use amaerican made steel and aluminum

both of those ways would boost american steel and aluminum, not raise cost on steel and aluminum, and ot piss are allies off so much

our allies aren't very pissed.

o yeah, slapping tarrifs on countries doesnt upset anyone

It forces them to compete in different ways.

yeah, by putting tarrifs on american products

Yeah

and its almost like they target industries they can do without and disporotionatly hurt trump supports.

Depends in the market of the goods that have tariffs.

Time will tell.

Goes back to my point. Yes it helps a small.industry, but it hurts dozens of other industries which are a larger part of the us economy

My county is peeved with US trading, pulling out of the TPPA

They have counties in NZ?
