My dad was an FBI agent when he was ordered to arrest Japanese Americans for internment. He did it for a day, quit, joined the Navy, and spent three years fighting in the South Pacific, 28 island landings. Never regretted his decision. His lesson was, "You can always say no."

While the United States maintains one of the lowest average applied tariff rates at 3.3%, our trading partners maintain egregious tariff rates, constraining American export opportunities. The Trump administration will continue to pursue policies to correct longstanding trade

No Harry Potter. No James Bond. No Godzilla. No Squid Game. No Seven Samurai. No Life Is Beautiful. And on and on. Protectionists actively look for ways to make our lives worse.
