decrease Chinese imports. All they do is make news headlines for dumbos who think they work, and they funnel money from tariffs into the general fund for more government waste. Essentially, tariffs are a tax increase for Americans.
The two losers on tariffs are American businesses who have to raise prices to offset the tariffs on the Chinese products or parts they import and may lose customers as a result of price increases, and the American people who have to pay the higher prices. The whole thing is a shell game.
To make things worse when China has to change distribution centers from inside China to other countries to avoid tariffs that also increases the product cost for Americans. So American consumers get screwed whether tariffs are collected or not.
