Countries Targeted by Trump’s Tariffs May Strike Back at U.S. Services
Au contraire. I wasn't talking about trade deficit, I was talking about the disparity in tariff percentages. But yes, dirt cheap imports encourages people to buy foreign made products. Trump is addressing that. Buy American. Support American businesses. Not if they choose to buy alternative products. That ruins the export markets of those countries exporting to the US. Perhaps Americans will start buying Californian wine instead of paying more for French wine, for example. Maybe buy a Tesla instead of an increasingly expensive BYD or Benz/BMW. Support American businesses employing American workers. Tariffs on imports encourage people to buy domestically produced items, like we see in Thailand. That creates jobs. It's also good for the environment if you care about that type of thing (I'm guessing you do). Not all manufacturing can be automated. If it can be, that creates jobs in the machine automation industry for companies like, oh I don't know, Tesla. Apart from green energy, I agree. The US should invest in more innovative tech companies like, oh I don't know, Tesla. The billions the US government will receive from these tariffs can help fund that as well as funding better education for the future. Create jobs for the American workforce. Of course, you can keep buying cheap junk from Asia made by 10 year olds on $5 a day from factories pumping out black smoke and then shipped thousands of miles to the US if that makes you feel like a good little environmentalist/globalist. -
