re: Do you think it is fair that Chinese automakers can use Mexico to ship cars tax free?

How is that different from Japan or the US auto companies manufacturing in Mexico?
IDK. I'd have to look into it.
Let's step back for a second.
What is happening here is Trump is the first politician in a long time (probably in most people's lives including mine) that we have heard using tariffs as a tool to execute trade agreements. No fine points are being argued by Trump other than he will "hit them with a 100% tariff" which is just bloviating. Trump is just setting the negotiating framework. One thing about Trump that he is consistent about is making good deals. He is always talking about deals. This is just part of it.

Except that he placed tariffs on countries and then didn't remove them before leaving office.
I voted trump. I'd vote for him again.
But to act like he never made a mistake (because framing tariffs solely as a bargaining chip is an outright lie) is flat out wrong.

Are they good because he says they're good, or are they good because they produce tangible results?
I'm asking as someone who doesn't study retaliatory tariffs and their affect on our trade.

Were you born in 2016? This is crazy talk.

Isn't this loophole a direct result of a deal Trump literally negotiated and celebrated?
