    This just proves that US tariff policies are unstable.

    Why would any company move production to US based on tariff then? Imagine spending money to move a factory from China to America, and the next month tariffs flip flop and your competitor laughs at you all the way to the back counting earnings from their Chinese imports.

      Dems just need to say that their candidates will drop all new tariffs like this. Which is goofy (repubs pro-tariff, dems anti), but it incentivizes them to not go along with any of this, medium/long term

        Whatever Democrats say, it will just contribute to uncertainty which is what the comment you replied to was all about.
