The Oil Industry Doesn’t Need Government Protection
Are you saying that the oil industry can stand on its own against its peers? Sure they can. They don’t need babysitters for that.

A tariff will not mess with the internal market, but it will give state-sponsored players something to chew on before their next ploy. Make this a tax for all those that play ugly.
