Most of your agricultural products could be sourced from Brazil and Argentina anyway.

It will only make the product more expensive in the US.
Also, if there is one foreign industry sector that is also heavily invested and producing in the US, it is the car industry. Just shows how stupid these retaliatory tariffs in a globalized world are. But not surprising that someone who went bankrupt so often makes stupid economic decisions.
He also doesn't seem to undertstand that not only Europe is thinking about actions.
