We live in a world of international commerce. International commerce creates jobs for everyone.
China has some unfair trade practices, but we need to address them in ways other than tariffs.
Tariffs might help jobs in one small industry, but it raises prices on those products for everyone else and then the retaliation tariffs raise other prices for everyone else.
So in the end everyone pays a lot more money to help just a very few people make more money. It ends up costing more than it is worth.
