Peter Morici : U.S. voters won't tolerate politicians whose policies stoke inflation and tariffs raise prices.

Morici says tariffs on Canada , Mexico , Europe , Japan and others will weaken those economies.

He says the world has changed since Trump ’s first term; China has accomplished global dominance in many manufacturing industries, built a formidable Navy and forged an axis with Russia , Iran and North Korea .

Instead of imposing new tariffs on allies, Trump should encourage them to impose similar new measures on China .
