President Donald Trump just sent a massive wake-up call to every country that’s been ripping off the United States on trade. If they slap tariffs or taxes on American goods, we’re hitting them right back with the exact same charge. No more freebies. No more loopholes. No more American workers getting the short end of the deal.
Enough is Enough—It’s Time for Fair Trade
Signing an executive order, Trump made it clear: America is done being taken advantage of.
“Whatever countries charge the United States of America, we will charge them. No more, no less,” Trump announced.
For decades, other countries have been charging sky-high tariffs on American products, while we’ve been playing nice and letting their goods flood our markets for pennies on the dollar. Trump isn’t having it anymore.
“In almost all cases, they’re charging us vastly more than we charge them, but those days are over.”
And here’s the best part: If these countries don’t like it, they can drop their tariffs first.
“If a country feels that the United States would be getting too high a tariff, all they have to do is reduce or terminate their tariff against us.”
Fair is fair.
Stopping the Loopholes and Trade Tricks
Trump isn’t just fixing obvious trade imbalances—he’s closing every backdoor that foreign nations have been using to game the system.
- VAT tax schemes that function like hidden tariffs? They’ll be matched.
- Countries that block U.S. businesses while dumping their products here? They’ll pay for it.
- Foreign governments handing out subsidies to crush American industries? That gets factored into our tariffs too.
- Countries trying to dodge tariffs by shipping through “friendly” nations? That ends now.
“For many years, the U.S. has been treated unfairly by other countries, both friend and foe. This system will immediately bring fairness and prosperity back to American workers.”
And he means it.
U.S. Trade Rep Ordered to Expose the Worst Offenders
Trump isn’t just talking—his administration is already digging into the worst trade deals and preparing to level the playing field.
A Fox Business source confirmed that the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is investigating some of the worst trade abuses.
Take Brazil, for example. They tax U.S. ethanol at 18%, but we only tax theirs at 2.5%. Guess what? That imbalance is about to get fixed.
The Bottom Line—America’s Economy Comes First
For too long, weak leadership let foreign nations walk all over us in trade deals that gutted American industries and shipped jobs overseas. Trump is flipping the script.
If a country wants access to the American market, they’ll play by the same rules—or they’ll pay up.
“A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR AMERICAN WORKERS.”
