      If a country is dumping in your market and threatening your own industry you impose tariffs to compensate or you risk losing jobs and you’ll have a much bigger issue to deal with.

      I hope you’re not the kind of person that complains about the middle class disappearing because right now you’re defending what made it disappear.

      Also, welcome to the world, which isn’t just the US, this thread is about the European market where Biden didn’t impose tariffs.

          Opening the door to Chinese stuff and killing the manufacturing industry in North America and Europe is one of the main things that killed the middle class.

          Trump didn’t impose tariffs on China in Europe either.
