== US tariff history ==

I have had a read through your [[User:PJ Geest/sandbox#US tariff history]]. It would be a huge improvement. Applause.

At first sight I thought it was possibly too long but I couldn't see any obvious flab. I also think it important for an international readership to understand the historical basis for Trump's irrational belief that tariffs are a tax on foreigners and thus a saving to Americans.

I have marked a few items for your consideration. I tried to remember to use strike out and {{tl|xt}}, but it would be wise to check the diff.

I suspect my note excerpting Irwin's bio is not MOS compliant and will have to go but I did it partly to emphasise the only significant weakness in the text: excessive reliance on a single source. [[User:JMF|𝕁𝕄𝔽]] ([[User talk:JMF|talk]]) 14:39, 6 July 2025 (UTC)
