The last ships loaded with tariff products have just arrived in the US ports. From this moment, the consequences of 145% of taxes on Chinese imports ordered last month Donald Trump will begin to be seen with each new delivery of products or with each empty ship, which is not loaded. And American businessmen are trembling: today the USA Chamber of Commerce asked the president to remove tariffs or believe in exemption for small businesses in order to “avoid launching a recession.”
Dates create great concern in all enterprises. The effects of tariffs are not visible overnight, but weeks or months are required to be noticed. GDP data presented yesterday showed a fall in the United States in the United States, partially caused by a strong increase in imports. The companies took advantage of the days before the tariffs entered into force to flood the stores of their products in order to withstand for several months. But this door is already closed, and Signatures are already using stored productsThe field and when their reserves are over, the situation can be critical.
The Executive Director of the port of Los -Angeles, Gene of Serok, confirmed in statements in the CNN chain that free deliveries from China from China finished arriving this week. The number of ships hired in the coming weeks was 35%. JPMorgan is afraid of collapseAndes have reserves for “from six to eight weeks.” As soon as they end, they will have to choose between new products at exorbitant prices or take empty shelves, and in search of some type of replacement.
The risk is that companies usually begin to make their orders for the Christmas season, so a break in imports in May can have significant delays for several months of consumption of the year. To avoid a major crisis, the Chamber of Commerce asked Trump exceptions. But at the daily press conference, The White House made it clear that the tariffs would continueThe field of assistance to small enterprises will come, in any case, in the form of a “highest reduction in tax in history”, which Republicans process in Congress.
Yesterday, Trump himself clarified his position: “Maybe instead of buying 30 dolls, children will have to agree on two, and these two dolls will be more expensive.” In other words: Tariffs are aimed at provoking inflation and shortage in the United StatesWith such a “destructive economy of China.” The policy of “losing” (losing), in which everyone is harmful.
The big question is how the population will react. It was, inflation accumulated by the crisis of the supply chains caused by Covid, was one of the arguments of the Trump campaign that Joe Biden accused of this increase in prices. Become a new round of prices, as well as a little risky policyThe field but this is the decision that Trump made.
