Counter-argument: In rare cases, fast aggressive trade action makes sense, China especially. Subsidies, IP theft, dumping, coercion. WTO is slow. Some say presidents need tariff authority. But where’s the line? Targeted enforcement vs blanket tariffs, now before the Court.

If tariffs don’t work and escalation would be catastrophic, what does responsible pressure look like? Trade can support human dignity only when it’s targeted, coordinated, and disciplined. Blanket punishment doesn’t change regimes; it changes who pays.
