Tariffs are just price rises for the customer.
Steve Madden Shoes imports 70% of their shoes from China. They announced yesterday they would be moving 1/2 of their production in China to other countries - Vietnam, Cambodia, Brazil, etc. to avoid high tariffs on Chinese imports.

Not one new job in the US!

If anyone in government thinks that raising tariffs is going to increase manufacturing in the US or going to increase employment in the US or lower costs to consumers .....
