All of the screaming about tariffs is fun, but did you sit down at your keyboard and look and see what protectionist tariffs are changed against US goods and products going to many of those countries?
Fair Trade My Donkey!!
Even Canada had a 270% on US dairy products.
This is just trying to roll the playing field flat.

The US has 350% tariff on tobacco, 130% on peanuts, 100% on European meat, just to name a few.
10% of Canada's dairy market is tariff free. In 2017 Canada imported 470 Million in dairy from the US and only exported 119 Million in dairy to the US. Thats almost a 400% surplus in America's favour.
Other countries would like to see auto tariffs eliminated because it would get rid of the 25% tariff the US has had on light trucks since 1963. That would be a big hit for the US domestic manufacturers, seeing as they have basically abandoned cars in favour of light trucks and SUV's. Meanwhile, metal tariffs are making US manufacturers less competitive.
