Hi EL,

Another long term positive regarding tariffs is as the foreign plants are constructed and the tariff drops to zero, the chronic long term trade deficits go down.

Over time, foreign countries will tire of paying high tariffs, or theyll simply no longer higher revenue by including the USA's market.

The long term goal is fair and free trade.

Those who have abused it the most will suffer the most in higher tariffs or reduced revenue.

Trump is right, the Euro land has been one of the most abusive users of tariffs.

They have used the tariff revenue to build a social safety net that is now unsustainable and at the same time not funded an appropriate defense against land grabbing communists.

Industry in Europe will either wither or get to work.

The lack of political will assures it to be too little and too late.

Past studies have shown substantial impact of the tariff effects come out in FX exchange. The paying country loses value and the receiving country gains in currency value.

My bet is the Euro will decline. If so, Europe will become the go to place to vacation when the Dollar shows strength.
