Trump ends another subsidy borne by the US taxpayer

[Calculon]

Another win. US citizens have been subsidizing international shipping costs for other countries through that POS org the UN. Go Trump.

"On Thursday, President Trump issued a presidential memorandum that takes aim at a decades-old shipping agreement with a United Nations agency that gives some foreign countries, including China, a dramatically unfair advantage over American-based companies when it comes to shipping costs. The policy is costing American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars annually and has made it extremely difficult for American companies to compete in the online marketplace."

Good.

Next maybe he can get rid of the steel and aluminum tariffs, which are *also* subsidies borne by the American taxpayer.

Trump using tariffs as a club in negotiations. I don't believe he intends to leave them in place long term.

I'm not against it in the least.

What I am against is the government picking winners (in this case, steel and aluminium manufacturers) and losers (in this case, every manufacturer who uses aluminum and steel). The number of jobs in the latter far out number the jobs in the former, btw.

This tactic can bring down a Country without ever firing a shot. Watch Russia...China...N.Korea...Iran...AND

Mexico and Canada are "supposed" to be our friendly border Countries. Mexico lets all the immigrants push through..has a "drug" run Government and Canada lies behind our Military umbrella/tariffs on several goods.
IF...You have a "friend" who is continually hosing you: Are they your "friend" ?
