Yes, for years those tariffs imposed on the United States by foreign governments has hurt U.S. Manufacturing as they flood our markets with cheap crap made by slaves.
Trump’s tariffs are an opening bid in a renegotiation of a bad trade deal. It’s the equivalent of a kick in the balls to get their attention. The countries on the other end of the tariffs don’t want them because they will be stuck with vast amounts of inventory when US manufacturers find alternative sources. There will be all kinds of bluster from the typical crowd but in the end, the US will have a better trade deal.
America should just shut down and let the world run over it. you agree?
bump
As you may have noted, if you look at details, Trumps trade deals are actually about trade - you know, we buy your stuff and in exchange you buy ours [goods and services and I don’t mean our prostitutes in DC]. That’s what trade is.
Are you intentionally lying, or are you simply that stupid?
Yes, China became the leading manufacturing economy in the world in 2010, but the United States maintains a strong second-place standing. The value added by U.S. factories is more than $2 trillion a year, equal to the next three countries (Japan, Germany and South Korea) combined. U.S. manufacturing is still the envy of the world.
Gross output of U.S. manufacturing industries — counting products produced for final use as well as those used as intermediate inputs — totaled $6.2 trillion in 2015, about 36% of U.S. gross domestic product, nearly double the output of any of the other big sectors: professional and business services, government and real estate. Today, U.S. factories produce twice as much stuff as they did in 1984, but with one-third fewer workers.
Now, if you want to say that manufacturing JOBS are down, that's true... but output is at record levels, and still #2 in the world, only behind a nation with 4 times the population and 1/10 the labor and government compliance costs.
Our top manufactured products are refined oil (including gasoline, fuel oil, jet fuel, and liquefied refinery gases), light trucks, pharmaceuticals, airplanes, automobiles, iron, steel, animal slaughtering, plastics, organic chemicals and petrochemicals. Yes, clothing, trinkets, and household goods are now made elsewhere. We make the big expensive stuff, the technological stuff, the medical stuff, and the chemical stuff... and lots and lots and lots of food. U.S. Manufacturing is NOT dead, Jim.
Exactly - Broad-based representative measures vs. anecdotal anomalies ... I’ll take the former, thank you.
Raising steel prices through tariffs hurts American manufacturing.
I am tired of the cheap Chinese crap.......................
Expect a lot more of these type articles it’s all they have. It will fail like everything else they try
Did the Times ever write about NY businesses being shuttered under the Obama regime?
Tell me about it. Just one example would be the jeans I wear. They certainly do NOT last nearly as long as they did. I do try to find decent domestic made, whenever possible. In any case, not having a strong domestic manufacturing base is the death knell of any nation that would hope to be independent.
The anatomy of a troll.

Imagine our surprise when we installed the gas pipe procured locally for a few heating jobs. The gas pipe was marked either Vietnam or Turkey. Gas fittings have invariably been stamped China or had no stamping that would indicate origin.
Trade war vs trade peace is a misleading analogy. Haggling is a better one. Trump is haggling for a better deal and on the whole as far as I can see he has gotten a better deal. But if you use the trade war analogy, then we have been the victims of trade war attacks and are finally fighting back.
Where there is some truth to what you say, all of these manufactured products we sell (aside from the petroleum products) are chock full of Chinese and other foreign components. It would be more accurate to say that we are leaders in "assembling" but not necessarily "manufacturing."
The presser from the company states: "we do not know the root cause of the accident"
The root cause of the accident is the use of hydrogen fuel which is explosive from 4 - 77 mol% in air.
Leftist thug press is getting low on Trump hate angles.
More likely Andy Cuomo’ s tax credits expired.
