LOGEN 🪵⚡️ on Nostr: What I meant by that was the companies in those countries would have to pay the duty ...
What I meant by that was the companies in those countries would have to pay the duty to import their own goods into the US.
I did not consider American companies also having to pay this import tax, because the current administration did not communicate that. I assumed that the tariff was only on companies in those jurisdictions, and that countries would have to subsidize that expense
It did not appear clear to me that companies in the United States doing any importing would be subject to the same expense.
