    "They" here means the US?

    Anyway, the idea that removing the tariffs is for the other countries' benefit is just ridiculous.

    US lawmakers are not saying this.

    WASHINGTON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - US Representative Richard Neal, the Democrat who is expected to regain the chairmanship of the tax- and trade-focused ​House Ways and Means Committee, said on Friday that he ‌is committed to reversing President Donald Trump's "unjustified" tariffs and "backroom deals" on trade.

    In an address to a trade conference hosted by the Biden administration's former ​US Trade Representative, Katherine Tai, Neal said Trump's "deliberately chaotic ​and unjustified trade policies" had contributed to rising living ⁠costs and growing inequality between workers and the wealthiest Americans.

    I still wouldn't trust us as far as you can throw us.
