Imposing tariffs and therefore reducing the goods that are transiting to (and from) the US across the globe is not, indirectly, ecologically good?
Less goods transiting, less transport to bring them across oceans, less container ships, less oil…
Funny how the US has been advocating for trade while it was "winning" (read, giving worthless papers for real goods). Since now we are hitting a wall (competing economies asserting themselves, and willing to be freed from the dollar), and since the US prsident seems to disregard, or not aware, of the massive advantage that the dollar means for the US economy, a trade war has been started.
This war will either be won by the US on the short term, or the dollar will be dismissed as international currency.

Remind me what the Yuan, Yen, and Euro are backed by? Or are you saying that the world will go back to the gold standard?
