This is just an opinion piece, not news. If tariffs are - bad, why is the personal income tax

good?

The concept of a tariff on steel is misleading. There is a very lengthy document called the Schedule of Harmonized tariffs 2018. For those of you that are really are interested, harmonized means that the various items have been agreed to on a global scale. So, when a tariff is laid on it will be for specific harmonized tariff number. So it is possible to focus on just a few Canadian Steel products that somehow are unfair and tariff only one or perhaps all of them. Most of the various Harmonized Tariff steel items would be left alone. THat way, specific items can be negotiated.

There are other particulars on Chinese steel.

I find it hilarious that so many "journalists" are lecturing a billionaire businessman about business negotiations.
