“The only reason we don’t presently have a trade war is because thge US won’t fight. Chinese already impose tariffs”
That’s exactly correct. I don’t hear any call for broad-based comprehensive tariffs ala Smoot-Hawley that basically stopped world trade.
The Chinese are not “fair, free traders”. Neither is Mexico, nor other major trading partners. Trump is the only one who recognizes this, and the only one making it an issue.
There is a reason. The other candidates are paid to not care, in my opinion - so they do not make it an issue.
This will be a positive for Trump in the general election.
Thats why this article peaked my interest. I believe the liberals/communist will use this against Mr. Trump regardless of its merit.
One thing I do agree with this article is that if the tariff goes to 45 percent there will be an increase in the cost of living.
Question One. How much?
Question two. So what prices go up because its worth it in other areas, like increase factories in the USA therefore jobs???
