This and when trade is not balanced, measures might be necessary to balance the situation to be used later as leverage in negotiation. When trade is one sided and you simply accept an out of balance situation, this becomes the norm and you have no means of negotiation.

You want to count dollars between countries??
Does that mean we have put tariffs on some country like Columbia because we buy so much coffee from them but their economy is too small to offset those purchases with purchases from us???
That would be stupid wouldn't it?
