That’s lots of helpful info and debate out there about who is actually going to pay this tax, but the truth is somewhere in the middle of USA citizens picking up the tab versus the countries attempting to export the tariffed goods. USA has other options including other countries without tarriffs or switching to producing the goods ourselves from our vast natural resources— while these tarriffed countries goods are suddenly going to be difficult to sell in the biggest market in the world: the USA.

There’s so much more to say, but just pointing out it’s not as simple as a tax on America and can serve as a lever to other ends— for instance serving our administration’s immigration goals.
