@EvolLove Negotiation would be what policymakers do when deciding mutual tariffs. Incidence is not a process directed by political leadership. It’s just how consumers and producers respond to their choices.

I have mixed feelings about Trump’s tariff proposals. Some I think reasonable and unfairly maligned. But whatever tariffs ends up getting imposed, as a product of whatever negotiation, it’s incorrect to claim only the foreign seller ends up paying it.
