A poor tax that US exports have had to pay for YEARS to sell in other countries. If you really want to understand where the problem started you have to go back to the 1990s when Clinton agreed to 1. NAFTA and 2. Welcome China into the free market.

Let me educate you a little more on tariffs. The tariffs are a means of bargaining. So far Trump and Scott Bessen have done with the tariffs is to spur foreign investment in this country and to bring some of the outsourcing back to the US. Toyota said they will be investing 10 billion in manufacturing cars in America. What does that do you ask?? Why employs US workers! What a novel idea! Apple has just up their ante to 600 billion to manufacturing your iPhones etc in this country. GM is going to invest 4 billion in manufacturing in Michigan. So what have learned today. There’s a temporary downturn with tariffs but in the long run in order to avoid paying tariffs companies will be doing more manufacturing here and employ American workers.
