Why would the US want fair competition?
Like I said, the *consumers* do not benefit from the tariffs, the *nation* does.

Because US businesses will only compete and innovate if you force them. Leave them safe behind ramparts of protective trade policies, and they'll keep coasting on 1990s technology, as the country as a whole slowly becomes a backwater.

No the nation doesn't, it just degrades into further noncompetitiveness, and increased consumer prices.

Does the nation benefit when there’s no actual benefits like health care for the citizens?
