by from on (#3VP5T)
On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that tariffs - essentially, taxes on consumers - were the "greatest." His scheme to soften the pain of tariffs with a $12-billion welfare-for-farmers plan went over like a lead balloon. He was reportedly considering a 25 per cent tariff on autos. This is what the Trump-Peter Navarro trade mindset looks like - chaotic, unworkable, counterproductive and politically untenable.
