    there probably is some stuff that the eu makes that the us doesn’t.

    If he tarriffs those, we should not replg by imposing tarriffs of our own (cutting our own balls off). We should just start increasing our prices for those products, therefore increasing their tarriffs

        It is.

        But why not just keep it and get the tech used at home? You don’t sell a valuable asset to an economic rival just to spite another economic rival. What you do is you cling on to every technological advantage you have in the market place and capitalise on it as much as you can.

      an export tariff to fight their import tariff? that’s one way of saying we dgaf about your tariffs I suppose. And if they end up dropping the tariff because it’s hurting them too much, well that’d be the ultimate humiliation.

        no not an export tarriff. That would mean we pay it.

        You usually pay $1 for this item and now you’re forcing your citizens to pay 150%? ok, from now on my prices have increased by 100% so now your citizens must pay even more
