More Fact-Free BS from the chief exporter of that commodity.

If the rest of the world put a tariff on that, the US would blow up from its own sewage.

Show some REAL numbers, looking at both sides of the equation.

And look at value too - did it ever occur to anyone here that perhaps the reason Germany sells more cars in the US than vice versa is because they make better cars?
Fact:

"Recent World Trade Organization data shows that America's average tariff for imported goods is 2.4%. Canada's average tariff for imported goods is 3.1%, and the EU's average tariff for imported goods is 3%.


That's:

Canada - 3.1%
EU - 3.0%
US - 2.4%

I can't believe that Brew even uses the word "sewage, ever, considering where he lives.


But speaking of REAL numbers concerning trade and tariffs:

"Recent World Trade Organization data shows that America's average tariff for imported goods is 2.4%. Canada's average tariff for imported goods is 3.1%, and the EU's average tariff for imported goods is 3%.


That's:

Canada - 3.1%
EU - 3.0%
US - 2.4%

Canada leads the pack in % of tariffs on it's imported goods.
