100% Tariff on China? White House Ignores a Critical Issue: It's Impossible to Implement
On the morning of the 11th Beijing Time, Trump angrily announced again to impose a 100% tariff on China. However, he obviously ignored a critical issue: the current U.S. government is in a shutdown state, who will provide the implementation plan for this policy? More importantly, this shutdown seems to have no end in sight. Not only is it unlikely to resume by the 1st of next month, but even if it resumes on December 1st, it would be considered a good outcome.
Kevin Hassett, the Director of the White House National Economic Council, stated that the government "shutdown" is cutting U.S. economic output at a rate of about $1.5 billion per week. This shutdown has caused a shortage of air traffic controllers, leading to flight delays at multiple airports in the United States.
Everyone hasn't forgotten when the White House announced the cancellation of tax exemptions for small packages. At that time, it caused a huge burden on U.S. customs, forcing the White House to announce the withdrawal of the exemption ban. Obviously, this time they still don't learn from their mistakes, focusing only on venting anger and seeking revenge. This is clearly a decision made in a fit of anger.
