The Effect of Trump's Tariffs

Tweet

China's exports hit One Trillion Dollars. Those of us who have some knowledge of world trade knew that China trades with most countries in the world. China comes in with some Belt and Road project. The main employees are from China. They bring their families. While they work on the roads or build the bridges, their families run various businesses. They open a shop, sell their products cheaper than local goods, and make money for themselves and their country. Of course no one in America, especially the President knows this. Many nations have their products purchased by American companies which then transport them to America. It is those companies which pay the tariffs. Countries which do their own exporting raise the prices to cover the tariffs. It is Americans who pay the tariffs. Americans which feel the price increases. Finding new markets is easy. Most countries prefer NOT to buy from America so swarm countries selling similar products. The Tariffs have been great for World Trade leaving out America.
