Those ways also involve negotiations, not absolutely harebrained sudden huge tariffs based on no kind of mathematical sense at all.

Yes. I remember in previous discussions you were talking about supporting tariffs up to a certain extent although I don't recall this was about impulsive acts.

Ever since the 1920's, the economy has become increasingly global. It's really hard to implement tariffs without potential adverse ramifications to the global economy unless as you point out there's more careful negotiations.

Also, with countries like Cuba that badly need trade to become more prosperous, it's bad optics.
