So if the Americans pay when Trump raises tariffs on Chinese goods, then the Chinese will pay if they increase tariffs on American goods, so why would they retaliate strongly?Some may think that Trump's master plan of tariffs on Chinese goods will be paid by China. Not at all folks.
The tariffs will be paid for by the US consumers. Well when the average Joes are paying they take the matter seriously.
Even the Trumpers will be hard pressed to justify it.
The Chinese are likely to retaliate strongly.
