Trump says tariffs are meant to bring back more factory jobs. Will it work?

Trump's tariff strategy is working brilliantly as a negotiation tool. Vietnam's deal proves countries will open their markets when faced with serious consequences. The 20% rate is fair, considering their massive trade surplus, and zero tariffs for U.S. exports create real opportunities for American businesses.
Blanket tariffs aimed at evening out trade deficits are driving America toward dangerous economic isolation as well as hurting consumers with higher prices. The haphazard approach is not a recipe for strong economic growth; it creates uncertainty that's already reducing manufacturing investment and port activity.
