The US exporters will be bothered if their products are more expensive and thus less attractive to buy. Do you really think all the world politics, economists and business leaders are just too stupid to get which effects tariffs have?

Do you think they would bother with counter tariffs if the tarrifs imposed by Trump would only hurt the US?
