Yea, paid by Americans lel

so who's paying for it? the importers in the US? or the consumers in the US?

most likely shared between American importers and foreign exporters.

so Americans paid partly only

so much money.
all paid by usa lol

Trump indeed has good foresight then. Next question is what he’s going to do with the money?

sendiri bayar sendiri syok sendiri rompak sendiri

He also reduced tax for the people. Putting more money in their pockets

So even if there's tariff, it's not as pain as you think it is.

Fed gonna cut rates soon also.

Pump into his crypto!

Good news for us exporter countries. It means Americans are still buying imports instead of local products.

It is tax certainly it works. If you let PMX tax you Malaysian government will be rich also, however Trump is smart to use tariff narrative to looks like other countries are paying for it.

the more correct answer is all paid by american consumers

Trump provoked widespread criticism last week by firing the BLS’s commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, after weaker-than-expected jobs numbers for July and downward revisions for the two previous months, statistics that seemed to portend a looming economic slowdown

His number dunno can trust or not

if you read the discussion going on the tariff is shared between the importers and exporters. so American paid part of it only. and you may ask why exporters is willing to pay. because US is the biggest consumer market in the world some with high margin so can absorb part of the tariff.

this is by Treasury not BLS. Trump started put 10% baseline starting April 2025 which reflected in the graph.

Sos?

MR_alien being confidently wrong again? You think exporters won't be forced to reduce their prices to remain competitive?

Foreign exporter has no role on local tariff

No need since semua kena tariff anyway. Not much of a competition with us product anyway since they are already way tok expensive to begin with

its more like its being paid either by the companies in america which imported the goods, and the consumers who pay whatever the companies dont absorb. whatever the companies absorb show up as lower profits and that means lower corp tax income.

which is partly why the deficit grew last month.

Country A and B make T-shirts.

Country A kena tariff 14%.

Country B kena tariff 16%.

What Country B need to do to remain competitive in the US market?

Assume both countries have the same production costs and quality.
