But this is not true. The US has pursued a relentless drive toward worldwide free trade since WWII, which accelerated after 1980. The US maintains a low- to no-tariff relationship with most countries this guy refers to as "third world nations." The US has done plenty bad things to some of those countries over the past century, but tariffs aren't one of them.
Economic world war: US has sanctions on 1/3rd of all countries, 60% of poor nations
The US has routinely abused their position in the global market to disenfranchise and abuse nations that get on their bad side, wtf are you talking about
I'm talking about tariffs
