        I'd suggest it's less crazy and more... base, low, unprincipled... maybe harder words.

        Come on !! In this case isn't it Rwanda which is preventing its people from purchasing cheap clothes in order to help the domestic industry? That's classic protectionism !

        Well Trump does love protectionism when it suits the US, no?

        Of course. President Trump is inconsistent. I am not defending his trade policies. But that doesn't mean that we need to be inconsistent as well.

        How dare they break Free Trade agreements and try to redevelop their local industries to the detriment of American used clothing exporters. /facepalm

        So stupid. It's up to your colleagues in the media to put each of these "accomplishments" in the proper perspective, i.e. who benefits, who loses out, was the change worth it, how much of this is just dent seeking, etc.

        all the Ralph Lauren and Zara clothes that are donated to Goodwill get shipped to African countries and sold as new. brings in several hundred million, if not $1B+, and Africans are pissed off about it 😬

        I think this comes down to where you sit on individual liberties/freedom. If you agree that Rwandan citizens should be free to purchase whatever clothes they want regardless of origin then you support the US position. I tend to believe that lower prices help people most
