Governments all over the globe will need to become involved with more responsible activities which stop pollution. That would of course, include the US. We have many products and things that need cleaned up. It will take putting a priority on the life first. This is a truly tough situation.

By negating tarifs …
By negating tarifs only on countries whose standards are equal or superior to each other, people in the US would keep more jobs and only loose jobs when the other region offers a real production advantage (location, infrastructure, production method), and by the same token you would help the people of other countries by creating incentives for other gov to raise the social, ethical, safety and environemental bar (positive spiral)
