Reducing tariffs is not in vogue anymore. Trump is getting lots of support for his proposal to reinstate many tariffs.<p>&gt;Furthermore, we can&#x27;t realistically ask for the parties to go back to the negotiating table to try to improve the deal. This one was 10 years in the making, which is depressing, but does mean that it&#x27;s basically this deal or nothing.<p>But they told us that negotiating it in secrecy does not matter as there will be a window of so many months in which it will be made public before the legislators will sign it.<p>So then it does matter, after all.
