If you’re a manufacturer how quickly can you even stand up a factory in the US and train that factory of workers to produce your item? 3-4 years? What’s the chances republicans still control congress by that time? The presidents continued ability to enforce this relies on controlling both chambers because the tarrifs are being put up under an emergency declaration that congress has the power to override. If you don’t think that’ll continue to be the case in 2 years time it seems very difficult to justify the investment, and if markets continue to crater I would think it would further reinforce this
Why would you stand up a factory based on humans? When widget-businessman calls up the companies that install widget making machines they'll get the latest and greatest automated production machines in the least human labor intensive ways possible.
remember the "de minimus" is going away May 2nd too
each little shipment from aliexpress, etc.
will have a tariff of 30% of the "value of the postal item containing goods for merchandise"
with a minimum fee of $50
FIFTY DOLLARS
It purposely kills all overseas shipments of even small items.
How many years until all that made in USA? TEN years? Never?
