Tariff, a hot button issue for sure.  In America, we argue - still - over who pays them (Hint: it is not the foreign nation).  We complain about how they increase prices.  We largely ignore the international consequences - but we better start paying attention.

The International Community is starting to re-align, and it is doing so without America whenever and wherever it can.  This is a tremendous unintended consequence of Trump's policies, and it is downright dangerous for America.
