Trump’s Absurd Trade Policies Will Impoverish Americans and Harm the World, by Jeffrey D. Sachs - The Unz Review

A ignorant question: Are tariffs intended to attract companies to the US or to negotiate better deals with other countries ???

It's not ignorant. No one outside of the white house really knows for sure.

The best answer to your question is : both, probably.

Asmull believes that both, now... how???

The answer “Trump knows what he is doing” isn’t valid for me

Don’t trust, verify

I’d say that the hope is both. But I don’t think it’s ever worked before.

I assumed he believes both, now…how ??

The idea is that if companies move their production to the states they can avoid tariffs and countries will still want to sell their products to Americans which will force them to reduce their own tariffs.

Good luck

Yep…..it’s quite the needle to thread…..

Both

It was rhetorical!!! 😂

How ???

Both
