Mainecat Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 One map shows why Trump's trade war with China could be a disaster for average Americans Source: Business Insider There's no clear resolution on the horizon for President Donald Trump's trade war with China, and many states could soon start feeling the pain. The Trump administration on Tuesday announced a 25% tariff on $16 billion worth of Chinese exports to the US, adding to the $34 billion worth of Chinese goods already subject to tariffs. Trump has also begun to move forward with tariffs on another $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, and he has effectively threatened that every item from the country could eventually be subject to tariffs. Tariffs act as a tax on goods coming into the country, meaning goods coming into the US from China would be hit with an additional 25% duty. That makes those goods more expensive, which, in theory, would drive US companies to buy non-Chinese products. Given that Chinese goods represented just over 21% of all imports coming into the US in 2017, an escalation of the trade war could push up prices for many goods. While the disruptions are likely to be widespread, some states may face more problems than others. According to data from the US Census Bureau, China is a key source of imports for many states: For 23 states, China is the top source of imports. For 45 states, China is in the top three.

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted August 9, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 9, 2018 Blame the American consumer who demanded cheap products. When a company produces here and they see their competition being rewarded for outsourcing thru increased sales what the fuck do you expect them to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the over $500 billion in Chinese goods coming into the US Trump wants to put tariffs on 10% of it. What will we do.....what will we do. So much for your previous pro made in America posts eh MC. You would be the biggest cheerleader of this if it came from the Dems or Hillary. Edited August 9, 2018 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
