trump's not levying VATs
He is levying tariffs to counteract them. Would you prefer he push a VAT and tariffs instead?

no such thing as counteracting a foreign tariff via a domestic tariff. that would fail to un-tax the foreign consumer
i suppose he could do something like counteracting a foreign tariff by subsidizing particular exports, but that would be crony AF
eta: regardless, this has zero bearing on whether raising tariffs can fairly be called raising taxes in a thread title
