The US is not proposing reciprocal tariffs, it is proposing broad tariffs premised on xenophobic fantasies placing blame for US fentanyl consumption and other US failures on foreign governments.

>The US is not proposing reciprocal tariffs

Regardless, you support the US enacting reciprocal tariffs right? That seems to be what the principle you stated yourself dictates.

I like how you just ignored everything they said, to try and coerce them into saying "yes", presumably so you can extrapolate that out to some other point you're trying to make.

He thinks its xenophobic and sees tariffs that are not reciprocal.

I recognize that. It just has no bearing whether or not the US should enact retaliatory tariffs. Does he believe the US should enact tariffs to meet the tariffs other countries already have on the US? He can evade and resort to accusations of xenophobia all he wants but that is the question I'm posing.

He's right, you're just repeating your unsupported statement in response. You don't seem to have an argument to reply with.
