    Trump should just create a tarrif that doubles whatever increase the target nation does.

    So tarrifs China 50%. China hits back 50% so now China is 150%

    Then China should do the same and raise tarrifs.

    Then we’ll have infinity tarrifs!

      And I think it should be exactly like that.

      Considering they have proven they can get algebra solved, with their (x-y)/x formula, China should retaliate with -50% tariff policy. United States doubles to -100%.

      Everytime you buy something from China, the US Government has to pay you it’s entire value.
