I'm not a financial expert. I'm not knowledgeable in most fields. But almost every financial expert in the US said Trump's "tariff plan" won't achieve any of the goals he set and won't have the positive effects he claimed.They don't seem to have logic behind them; rather, they appear to be made on a whim, and are hurting the US, both economically AND reputationally.
A tariff is a tax imposed by one country on the goods and services imported from another country to influence it, raise revenues, or protect competitive advantages.
Tariffs increase the price of imported products; for example, if a product from Canada is brought into the US after a tariff is set, the price will increase for American consumers. Americans pay more when Trump puts tariffs on other countries. He flatly lies every time he claims other countries pay the price increase. It's more like a targeted sales tax on certain imported goods, but a tax that Americans pay.
On the idea that they have no logic: you're 100% right, they have no logic. They are purely driven by Trump's emotions in the moment. There isn't a well-thought-out plan where cause and effect have been carefully considered, experts consulted, and alternatives proposed. There's just Trump getting pissy and deciding to "punish" other countries or people. That's it. So much for Trump being a man who can handle his emotions, huh? The bitch acts out more than most teenage girls do.
