How come Trump is so eager to impose tariffs to countries which are buying most of US exports.

Why he want to sell Americans stuff that costs much more to produce in US then overseas.

I bet majority of US population really believe China will pay for tariffs which is not true. Cost of tariffs will be paid by the US buyers.

Why pay for cheaper T-shirt if you can buy the one that cost more 👏🏼

No thank you.

It will be fun to watch how this plays out.

Because America first. America keeps making china rich. Stop buying stuff. Plus i want American made and if American companies cant make it happen in America than tariffs it is. Tbey should be higher

America first im American tgats why i say America first we need manufacturers here not china i dont live in china

Ohhh it cheap to manufacturer in china and send to America. tariffs take that

So John Deere was gonna close all their manufacturing buildings in USA and move to Mexico. How many American jobs is that taken to Mexico? Tariff? A lot of tariffs on John Deere, if they leave to Mexico. America first

So basically it's more of a move targeting American companies to think twice about moving abroad.

Yes yes. He had high tariff in 2016- 2020 and biden reworked the deal

Its sad what the democratic party has done to America the last 40 years they have been selling America in that way. We make nothing here because of the deals that hve gone down and American companies moving abroad

Thanks for explaining 👍🏼

But there's always good and the bad side. Not everyone can afford price increases and these will feel it the most.

It's kinda interesting how the trade works. Buying domestic goods is always more expensive even here across the Atlantic 🤔 If the system would be fair It's should've been the other way around.

I get you. But 2016-2020 tariffs were high and everyone was living there best life 🤷🏽‍♀️ the one in the political convincing you its bad is because it cuts in to there pocket
