Pretty much everything the US exports gets taxed by other countries!
TrumpAs main complaint is with NATO members, all of which signed an >agreement committing to spend 2% of their GNP on defense and to
contribute military manpower at certain minimum numbers.
Most NATO members do not. Including wealthy Germany and France. Instead
they allow the US to protect them with money and man power.
And, we have done so for 72 years.

Where I come from, silence usually indicates agreement. YMMV.
Libertarians strongly support staying out of international wars and
foreign affairs. We believe in a foreign policy of non-intervention, peaceful trade, and a strong national defense - rather than foreign
military involvement or nation-building.
Take care of your own business.
Note: Obviously, extended conflicts and foreign entanglements lead to
bigger government power, higher taxes, and a loss of personal freedoms
at home.
