We know who will pay more! Where do you suppose all of the additional money ( tariffs ) will go? Is it a world wide attempt by the one percent to further rob the population of the same?

Here's the gist of the new $200billion dollar tariff of president agent oranges...



the last tariff's he raised affected the manufacturer's and other companies...

this one will not, we will be paying for this one folks! Not only that...foods and other items on that list that are produced or made here in the states will raise their prices accordingly and you can't blame them, everyone wants a piece of the pie...it's just the consumers that will be left with only the crumbs.

Yea Boy making America Great.

China has fired back at the United States after President Donald Trump ramped up the trade war with his biggest wave of tariffs yet.

The Chinese government said Tuesday that it would impose tariffs on US goods worth $60 billion following the Trump administration's announcement that it was hitting $200 billion worth of Chinese goods with new tariffs.
The US tariffs start at a rate of 10%, before rising to 25% at the end of the year. They come into effect on September 24, and will apply to thousands of Chinese products, ranging from food seasonings and baseball gloves to network routers and industrial machinery parts.

China's new tariffs will be levied at rates of 5% or 10%, depending on the product, from the same date, China's state council said.

More than 5,000 US goods will be affected, including meat, nuts, alcoholic drinks, chemicals, clothes, machinery, furniture and auto parts.
