Letter: China hasn’t been ripping off the United States

Rather than tweeting, President Trump might read a book or two on the benefits of international trade.

China hasn’t been ripping
off the United States

Under the old adage “You can’t fool all of the people all of the time,” President Trump needs to be called out on his tariff wars.

China has not been ripping us off. We buy quality goods from other countries to meet our consumer demands. These exchanges are good for our economy and for the economy of the other country.

Most trade deficits do not matter, as long as the United States continues to be the most prosperous nation in the world. Our unemployment is at historic lows. Why find ways to mess this up?

Rather than send out hundreds of tweets per week, our president might read a book or two on the benefits of international trade.
