    | consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they
    | don't have to pay it. They don't have to do business with

    | not too distant future, I will set a fair price of tariffs
    | for different countries.

    Why did you leave the preceding paragraph:

    "He acknowledged that prices on some goods �might� go up but argued
    that falling energy prices will matter more to consumers.

    �Gasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller� or
    something else, he said, adding: �You don�t need to have, as I said,
    35 dolls.�"

    Why? Aren't tariffs making farmers money?


    Yes. Money is extracted from non-farmer and given to farmers.

    Yes. Money is extracted from non-farmer and given to farmers.

    So wealth distribution is ok with the Right?
