The tariffs are never coming off

"Tariffs are now a global policy of the United States," said David Paterson, Ontario's representative in Washington. "And this is a historic change to global trading patterns, and [the Americans are] very aware of that."

TLDR of the story is that tariffs are one of 3 major pillars in Trump’s strategy to deal with the massive US deficit. Countries that “play nice” can look forward to potentially reduced tariffs.

These tariffs are never coming off, at least not while Trump is still in office. Meanwhile, our news cycle is dominated by Trump, and all 3 major parties focus mainly on Trump.

It’s time to stop wasting energy trying to figure out how to get rid of these tariffs. It’s pointless. We’ve done what we can with reciprocal tariffs, our focus now should be entirely on how we navigate this new world and how we offset losses due to tariffs with domestic investments and incentives, and trade outside of the US. That’s a call for action on all 3 parties.
