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.
