Trump administration announced a set of globally applied tariffs that make no sense on their face.
No sane economist would endorse this.
The central, persistent thing Trump seems to misunderstand about tariffs is that they are paid by people in the US .
The best-case scenario for all this is that these tariffs — set to roll out in stages on April 5th and April 9th — will be abandoned.
The price of groceries, clothes, and cars in particular to rise steeply.
China has announced its retaliatory tariff, which will doubtless make those estimated price rises worse.
Trump has indicated he’s open to making deals to lower tariffs on individual countries.
The ostensible reason behind these tariffs is to drive trade deficits to zero , but that makes no sense.
The idea behind tariffs is that in the long term, it lets American companies more effectively compete by raising prices on foreign goods.
That gives American -made goods a chance to raise their own prices, juicing profits.
