Trump’s tariffs are chaotic by design, but strategic uncertainty isn’t a plan. It’s hurting U.S. manufacturing, trade, and the economy. There’s no method in this madness. | Caleb Petitt

America’s fight over tariffs goes back to the Founding. From the Navigation Acts to the Smoot-Hawley, protectionism has sparked wars, stunted growth, and fueled corruption. The history is clear: tariffs come with a high price. Free trade built prosperity—let’s not forget that. |

The Trump administration’s recently announced tariff increases on South Korea and Japan are counterproductive to American prosperity and security interests. | @calebdpetitt trib.al/0G0uoxK
