China, Canada and Mexico hit back at Trump’s tariff plan amid warnings of impact on the US economy - - How do we bring our jobs back home? Trump says he'll slap tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico on Day 1. I agree with jobs coming home - Dems should have done this. Our drugs, food, and good union jobs have been sent to unregulated cheap labor. There are loads of recalls that no one even checks. This broke unions and drove down paychecks. This should begin with a made in America buying from the federal government. Trump is not going to handle this well.
