The first round of China tariffs already stifled U.S. exports
So to get the qualifier out of the way, increased exports to Europe are irrelevant as those increases did not occur as a result of the tariffs.
While, comrade GURPS and his moron crew sheep bleat on about 500 jobs being created, the reality is that our economy has lost much, much more because, and only because, Donald Trump instituted these asinine tariffs.
In additional to $18B of lost sales, American businesses and consumers paid $20B in increased taxes (tariffs). Family farms are declaring bankruptcy. Are Maine lobstermen next in line at bankruptcy court? The average American household doesn't have the money to cover a $400 emergency purchase. Well, that average American family is in a deeper hole is their washing machine craps out as the cost of tariffs has been pushed thru to washing machine prices.
Limiting exports, putting farmers out of business and increasing the cost of goods to consumers isn't exactly a recipe for Making America Great Again! (Unless of course you are member of the religious cult and are just to damned stupid to understand.)
