I'm not sure you understand what a VAT tax is, Steve. You do know it's on EVERYTHING, not just US imports. right?

Additionally, if it comes about that foreign producers must pay a tariff equivalent to the VAT taxes US companies face

Things like the TPP were created to address those issues.

if it comes about that foreign producers must pay a tariff equivalent to the VAT taxes US companies face, as Katelew says, that too could be a positive for people wanting to work.
