Someone should tell the NY Times that Trump is aware of US tariffs and has offered to drop them in return for reciprocal action

NY Times Editorial:

Someone Should Tell Donald Trump About America’s High Tariffs

In accusing other countries of cheating the United States, the president misleads the public about a complicated subject.
Trump is not misleading those who are paying attention.  At the summit in Canada where tensions flared over tariffs, Trump offered to drop all US tariffs in exchange of other countries dropping theirs.

What Trump is doing is exposing some of the ridiculous impediments to trade like the Canadian 270 percent tariff on US dairy products.  There is also no excuse for Germany's 10 percent tariff on US automobiles.  There are numerous other examples that the Times should be pointing out.  The goal of the Trump policy is free trade between countries.
