Anxious Trading Partners Promise to Buy American to Stave Off Trump’s Tariffs
Vietnam, which has a surplus of more than $120 billion with the U.S. and saw tariffs on its goods rise to 46% on “Liberation Day,” shows how anxious countries are to stave off the duties. It recently closed a $300 million financing deal to buy a fleet of new Boeing jets. It pushed through the authorization of Starlink, the satellite internet service owned by Elon Musk, a close Trump adviser. And it accelerated the approvals for a $1.5 billion Trump resort.The Emoluments Clause, which....... prohibits federal officials, including the president, from accepting gifts, titles, or emoluments from foreign governments without the consent of Congress........was put in place for a reason. A grifter like trump is the reason.
