Have a Big Idea?

Call it the Equal Tariff Act. The law would say that US Tariffs on imports cannot be lower than tariffs on US made goods that nation charges. For instance If China has a 29% on a US product then America has the same 29% Tariff on that same product coming from China. The US can have a higher tariff but never a lower tariff then the other nation. Do the same with our markets. They can’t sell their products and services if we can’t in their nation.
