Tax increases on the middle class, disabled, elderly and poor Americans to subsidize billionaires. That's what these tariffs are.

U.S. President Trump recently levied a 145% tariff on Chinese imports. The tariffs are expected to shrink trade between the world’s two largest economies from a recent annual peak of nearly $700 billion to almost nothing.

Clothing hauls from Shein and Temu (two Chinese companies) could also get more expensive with the administration axing the “de minimis” loophole. Etsy sellers could also be affected.

pnwg69.bsky.social @pnwg69.bsky.social

Trump has increased the tariff to $75 per item. The reason the de minimis loophole was created was bc it cost more for our govt. to collect the taxes than they were making by collecting the taxes. This is going to hurt small businesses that depend on this loophole & well as hurt the economy.

The U.S. imports about $200 billion in food each year. Among the top food items the U.S. imports from China, which has a much higher tariff rate, are tea, spices, fish and shellfish, and processed and fresh fruits.

Every nation should immediately stop exporting everything to the U.S. for as long as necessary. Every nation who has them should immediately demand repayment of debts the U.S. owes them. Any nation the U.S. is holding gold reserves for should demand that gold be returned.
