"So to have trading deal between countries that is equal in tariffs that is dribble?"
This is a fake question, it's not equal. Trump's tariffs are NOT related to what the other country was charging. He laid on new (and high ones) based completely on the trade deficit with that country. For example China did NOT have like the 40-50% tariffs he laid on them during the "Liberation Day"
"If having a free trade agreement means no tariffs at all. While having an open market where both countries can buy and sell goods without being taxed on the imports and exports. That is collectivism?"
If it's an open market, then I agree that's the best solution. I disagree that Trump forcing China to buy US stuff is an open market or fair. And the tariffs are the wrong approach to even get the deal.
It's collectivism because it's thinking of the whole USA as a single entity. It's individuals
