The biggest problem is Trump doesn't understand trade and trade deficits.
It is not as simple as import vs export.
If he really thinks it is so important, a "good" recession will cut it by a lot. He may accomplish that with tariffs.
Here is an opinion piece by that liberal bastion, The Cato Institute, that might illuminate how it works.
