In Episode #54 of Logic Dictate Hot Topics, host Steve Gibson breaks down new evidence showing that Europe is quietly validating President Trump’s trade strategy. As Germany and other European nations raise tariffs to block a flood of cheap Chinese imports, Gibson explains how redirected Chinese goods—and sharply declining U.S. imports—prove Trump’s tariffs weren’t protectionist, but corrective. This episode explores fair trade vs. free trade, market distortion, and why European leaders are now playing catch-up.

Welcome to Logic Dictate Hot Topics, where common sense meets global policy. I’m Steve Gibson, and today we’re unpacking something the media isn’t eager to say out loud: Europe is proving President Trump was right about tariffs.

As Chinese goods are shut out of the U.S. market, they’re being rerouted—flooding Europe instead. And what’s Europe doing? Exactly what Trump did first: raising tariffs to protect their markets. Germany is leading the charge, and the data tells a very clear story.

This isn’t about trade wars—it’s about restoring balance.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: when Chinese exports to the United States dropped by double-digit percentages, they didn’t disappear—they went straight to Europe. And now Europe doesn’t want them either.

So what’s the response? Higher tariffs. Market protections. Sound familiar?

The only logical conclusion is this: Trump’s tariffs weren’t unfair—they were necessary. They weren’t anti-trade—they were pro-fairness. And now Europe’s weaker political leadership is scrambling to implement the very policies they once criticized.

If you want to understand the philosophy behind this approach—and where it leads next—you’ll find it explored in Logic’s Dictate, published by Mindstir Media.
