Who has the Authority to Impose Tariffs and how does this Affect International Trade?

5. My answer on the eyelets

is don't put tariffs on what isn't made here. Funny you mention brass because there used to be a big brass manufacturer where I live. Of course, that's gone, now. Stupid.

Electronics? They can be made anywhere and that industry should be re-built in the US. Until it is, no tariffs.

This makes me think of Nike and when they moved their mfg abroad. It was a windfall for them because the labor was so cheap but they upped the price of their shoes. I'm sure the same is true with electronics.

BTW, I think when something is made that is superior, like German precision tools, there should be no tariffs. If the importing country ever gets to the point of being able to match that quality by manufacturing it at home, then reconsider.

If feel this way about all countries.
