    They care because their economies rely on people buying the products. The reasons why tariffs hurt both sides is because the movement of products decays. That’s the whole idea, so that the products’ supply source changes.

      Cool but Americans should cool down their consumerism anyways.They consume the vast majority of stuff which is why everyone wants into the market.

        Major price shocks do not cool down consumerism unfortunately. The culture doesn’t respond to economic swings that way. People just suffer.

        I actually agree, and therefore think tariffs can be, if thoughtful and executed well, good for a country’s self-reliance and defense (cake). What it generally can’t be is good for the economy (eating it too).
