Meh, I look at the call for tariffs as political hay. Already its changed from 25% tariffs across the board to we're open to suggestions. I bet you sooner rather than later the calls for protectionism will quietly be laid to rest. BUT what's more important is it can now be said campaign promises were kept. Free trade, not protectionism is what makes the world go around. Unless of course they forgot the lessons of Smoot Hawley then we're quite possibly screwed.
