Trump's gameplan is to eliminate the tariffs on US goods being charged by foreign governments. He goal is actually free trade as in no tariffs (See the deal he made with Europe), but if the other countries won't do that, then he will charge tariffs on their products the way they charge tariffs on our products.
Yes. I would like to see free trade, but I realize that it's hard to compete against Mexican made cars, when they only pay their workers the equivalent of a few bucks an hour.
