Reduction or Elimination of Tariffs

Read The Economist’s articles, read, “Trump’s 12 Billion Bailout is No Remedy for Farmers Caught in the Trade War,” and this article, “Trump’sfarm aid amounts to a 12 billion mute button for tariff gripes.”

Do you think the reduction or elimination of tariffs and non-tariff barriers between the U.S. and the EU through the formerly proposed Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership would’ve increased demand for U.S. goods and services in Europe and make European goods and services cheaper for Americans? In it wise for nations to raise tariffs and increase subsidies to domestic producers? Why or why not?
