He sure as shit can and I hope he does.....it's about time these sold out sons of bitches are brought to their senses and stop fucking the country that made them rich and powerful. He can declare anything from an American company in China contraband and have it seized and destroyed.
Trump takes aim at media after 'hereby' ordering US businesses out of China
I suppose that you are prepared to go barefoot. 99% of the shoes sold in America are manufactured in China.
Do you really believe China is the only country in the world with dirt cheap labor?
True but most of the 14 countries nearby do not have the raw materials that can supply US economy. They cannot compete with China.
Other wise they could have done it long time ago. Some companies did but not big enough.
Labors in Middle East like constructions workers, operators, services like waiters, cooks or maids, engineers etc etc etc. Came from India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Philippines etc ........ then Chinese entered the labor force. Salaries went down.
I think they can do what others have already done, and that is move operations to a more profitable country. Tariffs severely cut that profit so having raw materials at hand is just a matter of importing them to their new location.
China is not giving up on this trade war just yet. However nothing like this has been tried before in modern times, and while I don't care for trade wars, I say we can't gauge the results int he middle of the battle. Each country will make moves, and eventually come to some sort of settlement good or bad. Only then can we rate the Trump strategy.
In the meantime, growing pains will have to ensue. As long as our government is taking care of these farmers, they can wait out the battle with the rest of us.
1. Raw materials. Let me use myself as an example. In the mid 90s I tried to convince my father to make my consumables in the Philippines. I don’t like China for several reasons. Plus Philippines has lots of advantages especially most speak English and cleaner. Plus women are PRETY ( the Spainiards left overs ) not the locals.
I tried but I was unable because I have to deal with middle guy instead of directly buying raw materials. My cost are lots higher. The same with others.
2. China is not giving up just yet. I doubt it if they give up. Especially the way your dude threatening negotiate style. You want them to bow? Because of tweets? I doubt it.
You don’t care about the trade wars. Really? Are you speaking for the rest of poor Americans?
We do care about trade wars. Especially the impact and un imaginable consequences. Just like almost every business industries here in US blasting your inept POTUS trade wars.
3. Thats just farmers how about the Lobster or wine industry is he going to bail them out too?
How about John Deere heavy equipments used by farmers? Sales are down about 50%. They are going to lay off people soon. Is he going to bail them out too? How about fertilizer companies?
PLUS..... How about the illegals that works in these farms? Or the legal workers? They are going to apply to food stamps soon or cancel car payments or rentals.
See the ripple effect?
