For those who do not support Trump's tariff war, this is great news because the US trade court has blocked Trump's aggressive actions.

Trump's tariff wars has been unnecessary and so far hasn't been beneficial(at least to the general public) and I really don't see why anyone would actually support these policies. It's no wonder it has been rightly dubbed TACO trade.

I once thought Trump doesn't fully understand the consequences of what he spews out concerning tariffs and international trade, but after posting on his truth social about how it's a great time to buy before revising his tariffs, it's became clear that he does understand at the very least, how to manipulate the markets for the benefit of only a handful of people.

To see the benefits will take time, but what he is doing is right. Maybe he is not approaching the thing the best way, but that does not matter. Most people have no idea where to even look up tariff rates, they just repeat what their favorite media outlet tells them to repeat. If you take a good look at the trade deals of America, a lot of the deals are very unfair. USA has much lower tariff rates than their trade partners on the same class of goods. In this case I am not referring to some kind of goods that should probably be protected, but even in cases where the trade partner does not even produce much of the thing on which it put up high tariffs. In that case, expensive goods from the USA are not threatening the local industry. Still, they keep the tariffs high. Previous administrations have failed with these things.
