Democrats Trying To Worsen Trade War, Take it Global

As I wrote in my American Issues Project column, the Obama Administration has already started two different trade wars, one with Mexico and the other with Canada. These are our to biggest export countries. They are not happy with us.

Now it seems that House Democrats want to take that global:

Senior Democrat senators said on Wednesday they would change a provision that imposes carbon taxes on imports following warnings that the clause in the House’s cap-and-trade bill could spark a global trade war.

The House’s bill contained tough provisions to impose carbon tariffs, aimed at protecting American companies’ competitiveness against imports from countries without equivalent carbon emission controls to those in the US.

So who’s fighting to keep the provision out of the Senate bill? John Kerry.

This should end well.
