I’m against tariffs—a trade war would be terrible—but exaggerating their dangers could backfire. The biggest risk from raising tariffs has (so far) been dodged.

International students bring a diversity of views & experiences education is a major US export.

This incredible tool from @KyleLHandley @GPS_UCSD lets you examine Biden tariffs and trade.
Examples:
Immediate 100% tariffs on goods we don't import from China, like cars
Delayed 25% tariffs on goods w/ hi dependence on China, like magnets
