Manitoba farmers in accordance with the falls of prices in the middle of Trump’s tariff threat
Trump said that tariffs would create more factory jobs, reduce federal deficit, lower food prices and allow government to subsidize children. “Tariffs are the biggest thing ever invented,” Trump said at a rally in Flint, Michigan, during his campaign president. . “Tariff man,” he called himself. In his second term, Trump promised even more and more tariffs. The United States in recent years have gradually withdrawn from their role after World War II promoting global free trade and lower tariffs. This shift is a response to the loss of US production jobs, widely attached to an unfinished tree store and a more powerful cinema.
Tariffs are intended mainly to protect the home industry
By increasing the price of imports, tariffs can protect the producers of grown houses. They can also serve to punish foreign countries for committing unjust trade practices, such as subsidizing their exporters or product deposition at unjustly low prices. Before the federal income tax was founded in 1913, the tariffs were the main driver of the government revenue. From 1790 to 1860 tariffs made up 90% of federal revenue, according to Douglas Irwin, economist of Dartmouth College who studied the history of trade policy.

The tariffs disappeared with the inclination that the global trade grew after World War II. The government needed significantly higher flows for the financing of their business. In a fiscal year that ended on September 30, the government raised about $ 80 billion in tariffs and fees. It is a trifle in addition to $ 2.5 trillion that comes from individual income taxes and $ 1.7 trillion from social security taxes and Medicare. Truth, Trump wants to bring a budget policy that resembles what was in place in the 19th century. Tariffs can be used and put pressure on other countries to questions that may be related to trade.In 2019, for example, Trump used the threat of tariffs as an impact on Mexico’s conviction to break the waves of Central American migrants crossing the Mexican territory on their way to the United States. Trump even sees tariffs as a way to prevent wars. “I can do it by phone call,” he said at the August rally in North Carolina. If the other country tries to start the war, he said he would issue a threat: “We will collect 100% of tariffs. And at once, president or prime minister or dictator or who the hell leads the land to me,” Sir, we will not go to war. “”

Likewise, China responded to Trump’s trade war, shaking tariffs on US goods, including soy and pork in a calculated urge to hurt his supporters in the farm country. Economist Study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Zurich, Harvard and The World Bank has concluded that Trump’s tariffs have failed to bring a job back to American heart. The tariffs “neither were raised nor reduced American employment”, where they were supposed to protect jobs, declared a study. Compared to Trump’s taxes for 2018, for example, the number of jobs in plants in the US -he barely rejected: the others were about 140,000. For comparison, only Walmart employs 1.6 million people in the United States.Worse, tax retreats that China and other countries have imposed on US goods have had “negative employment impacts”, especially for farmers, showed that these retributures were just just Partially partial retaliation tariffs were just a boarding tariff only restrained tariffs are only committees compensated for billions in government assistance that Trump brought to farmers. Trump’s tariffs also damaged companies that relied on target imports. If Trump’s trade war has run as politics, even though he succeeded as a politics. The study found that support to Trump candidates and the Republican Congress had increased in areas that were exposed to imported tariffs-industrial medium west and heavy southern countries such as North Carolina and Tennessee.
