Tariffs Are the Wrong Way to Fight Unfair Trade Practices
As is the case on so many issues, President Trump has been all over the map on trade. While he took a hardline protectionist stance during the presidential campaign and for much of his first year in office, he and several of officials of his administration have signaled in recent months that they were rethinking their hostility toward multilateral approaches to trade problems. But Trump’s
recent declaration
that he plans to impose steep tariffs on the imports of steel and aluminum, coupled with
this week’s announcement by Gary Cohn
, the president’s chief economic adviser and a free trader, that he’s quitting, suggest that Trump’s protectionist side is dominating once again.
