The trade wars are about balance as much as they are about advantage. The US has been paying the piper for a long time and it is about time we leveled the paying field.

It all comes back to oil, and now that we can be fuel independent, we could shut off the import train and do just fine. We are now at a point where the world needs us to spend more than we need the world (first time in a very long time). So these companies and countries have to make a decision, reduce tariffs or bring the work here so their product can be made and sold here. Its a win/win for the US in the long run.
