    That’s the problem with countries being run by responsible adults. They tend to think of the interests of the country instead of petty payback and point scoring. It is a shame the US didn’t elect such a person. Idiots try and drag you down to their level.

    Tariffs raise domestic prices and the price of inputs for local industry. The US economy and it’s citizens are being punished enough by Trump’s stupidity.

    Also the real prize for us is the export markets the US will be losing. When the US pushed their LNP stooge Scott Morrison into pissing off China, US exporters picked up billions of export business at our expense. Time to return the favour before Dutton does a repeat.
