Well to start, Canada and Mexico, the US's two largest trading partners, have had a "free trade agreement" with the US for 30+ years where nearly all goods are traded tariff-free, and Trump is trashing that agreement unilaterally while crowing that the US will "easily win a trade war" against these free trade partners, which is clear that a trade war, not trade fairness, against America's closest trading partners is what he wants.
World Bank data on countries by weighted average tariff:
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/TM.TAX.MRCH.WM.AR.ZS?most_recent_value_desc=false
The US has higher average tariffs than Canada, for example.

The Heritage Foundation lists the US at 65th in the world for trade freedom, not "1st" or whatever Trump claims.

Why lie about something anyone can look up easily?
