While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) Trump touches off a trade war by imposing 25% protective tariffs on steel and 10% protective tariffs on aluminum imported from the Dominion of Canada, Mexico and the European Union.
NOTE: As per Article I, Section 8 [Clause 1], only Congress is allowed to regulate tariffs on foreign trade.
