IMF study: U.S. tariffs on China hurting Americans most

[McRocket]

'The lasting trade dispute between the United States and China is taking an unexpected toll on American businesses and consumers, a new study by the International Monetary Fund said Thursday.

The feud between Washington and Beijing has been going for more than a year and has been marked by periodic tariff penalties worth billions of dollars on imports and exports. The most recent, on May 10, imposed 25 percent tariffs on Chinese imports worth $200 billion a year. U.S. President Donald Trump has said the tariffs are punitive measures for multiple Chinese transgressions. The IMF analysis, however, said it appears Americans have been the ones punished the most so far.

"Trade tensions have negatively affected consumers as well as many producers in both countries," the organization wrote in the analysis Thursday. "The tariffs have reduced trade between the U.S. and China, but the bilateral trade deficit remains broadly unchanged.

"While the impact on global growth is relatively modest at this time, the latest escalation could significantly dent business and financial market sentiment, disrupt global supply chains, and jeopardize the projected recovery in global growth in 2019."'

Interesting.

Hardly surprising to me...but still interesting.

Well, dying old billionaire Wilbur Ross said Americans need to feel pain. A lot of the peasantry cheers him for that.

Yea, it’s affecting companies that outsource manufacturing to China or buy Chinese goods.

You like US companies supporting communist Chinese?

How about moving manufacturing back to the US and protecting them from cheap Chinese slave labor goods?

 

[easyt65]

It's official then. Americans should just follow the Democrats' lead by giving up, kissing the Chinese ass', and agree to whatever they want....like Obama and other past Presidents did....

 

[Pete7469]

In this case the OP is like a Black Hole of Bullshit.

We're talking about a Trillion dollar economy compared to a billion dollar economy that's already tettering on decline.

The chinks build cities no one lives in, a 30 billion dollar hit is going to hit them hard, we subsidize more than that to waste excess military gear.

Those jobs aren't coming back and not the reason for the tariffs in the first place. What about consumers? How about those farmers that you guys usually pretend to support because they are "real 'mericans"? Now they are traitorous scum?

Anything that changes the landscape will have short and long term consequences. This is a short term consequence. Whether it becomes a long-term consequence remains to be seen. COuld be upfront cost for a long term benefit. Who knows. I am waiting and seeing.

The farmers shouldn’t depend on communists for profits.

Those jobs can come back, all we have to do is make it profitable to do so.

Then why is Trump diverting everybody else's money to farmers? A public option to you dorks is communism but this mass distribution of wealth isn't in your little minds? Interesting.

Farming subsidies have been going on for a hundred years.

But, if you want to end all subsidies, then let’s see a Democrat run on it.

I would support an end to all subsidies. Let a business rise or fall on it's own merits.

Sadly this is not a reality that we are faced with.
