What has happened over the last 50 years is that the world has leaned on the United States wealth, ever so slowly putting rules in place that take and borrow from Americans - and WE have been paying for it.
We're tired. We have tons of issues at HOME; the financial support should take care of our issues first, and then sure - we have no problem helping the world... but its been unfair over these decades; we are tired and taxed.
I literally can't understand how 'reciprocal tariffs', if applied correctly and fairly, don't make sense - or better yet, the EU can just 'pay up' but turning THEIRS down; then theres none from the US.
To say that Americans aren't being slowly taken advantage of just isn't a fair statements.

Canada announces 25% tariffs on American electricity - Trump resonds with 50% tariffs on steel and metal - Canada cancels the 25% tariff - Trump does the same;

It's simple; we're going to use our power to force the removal of tariffs, taxes and fees that MANY countries have put on American export over several decades. That is a fact - and the sooner countries remove them, the sooner we will remove our new tariffs; HOW is that unfair H1?
