Tariffs are the reasons we buy things from China and other places?  I'm not quite sure I understand.

 Ni>> Which existing tariffs, specifically?  Canada has enacted NEW tariffs in
 Ni>> response to the tariffs Trump has enacted, and Mexico has done the same.

 pa> China's 15% tariff on US cars
 pa> India's 60-100% tariff on US vehicles
 pa> India's regulations and certification process that stifle American export
 pa> China's 8-15% tariff on lumber
 pa> Mexico's tariff on steel, pork, cheese
 pa> Japan's unique safety and environmental standards that stop US vehicle
 pa> imports South Korea's 8% on vehicles (but many US automobiles are exempt
 pa> from this because of KORUS, Korea free trade agreement) VAT taxes across
 pa> Europe

My understanding is that Trump's new tariffs are only against Mexico, Canada, and China.  If India, Japan, and South Korea have tariffs against the US, why don't we do the same to them?
