Last I read, Trump's proposal was a 35% tariff on goods from China.
I wonder if it has exceptions for MAGA hats and flags and ties made in China?
Yes, just like last time. He excluded tariffs on clothes because that would have affected his and Ivana's clothing lines.
I find it interesting that even Snopes is political about this. They say it is true that Trump didn't tariff clothes but falsely claimed it didn't give Ivana an advantage when it absolutely did give her an advantage over American manufactures.
I thought that was for Canada and Mexico but for China he was staying at 10%
Doesn't want too big of a price hike on his red MAGA hats
He was saying 25% for Canada and Mexico and an extra 10% for China. Which means 35% for China.
I just looked it up. He said he's increasing tariffs for Canada and Mexico by 25% of the existing tariffs and for China increasing by 10% of the existing tariffs.
