"Mr. Mafia bro, so you are from Pakistan. The thing is about defecation and washing properly, the water actually comes from India, so you better stay quiet, that's where the benefit lies. Even doing toilet stuff, you learnt it from India; otherwise, you would have done it on the paint."

{quote} n the short term goods might seem to get more expensive because they are, and the US consumer will feel the pressure a bit more.
But with time, and through tariffs, it will no longer be profitable to import goods, so businesses and consumers especially turn to locally made goods which should put the US economy in a better position.

But the US needs to play the long game - probably 2-3 presidential mandates
That is incorrect.

The US economy is worse off than it was before when it imported the product.

That a tax makes it appear otherwise is a really good example of why taxes distort decisions away from the optimal allocation of resources.

The people in the US now devoted to making dill pickles have been artificially lured away from something where the US has a comparative advantage, say cancer research.

Does ChatGPT generates this info ? Looks like.. So you Donne wants to say that US companies have no cheap labor located there and you sent money and get nothing in return ? How did it happend ? I'm really sprised how US is poor in managing businesses, it looks like US is not so perfect business partner if not so wise ...
Notice that a few years ago many American companies "outsourced" their customer service to India. It was all the rage. But now, all these services have come back to the US, the quality likely to be the main reason.

One day Trump will realise the US needs the rest of the World more than the rest of the world needs the US. The more of this shitty he does the closer that day comes for him.
Looks like India has now joined China and Russia. That's a good example of what's to come.

Good explanation. Thank you.

To paraphrase Samuel Clemens (AKA Mark Twain), the news of our demise have been highly exaggerated.

India imposes high tariffs on pretty much every country. So don't pull out the victim card, Trump.

And hey, look at what good those tariffs have done for the progress of India! Open your eyes.

Yes, there are other factors of course, but tariffs and protectionism are probably quite significant in the scheme of things.

The problem is not India Mr. Trump, it's the USA and the shitty, overpriced products that they make.

You can have zero tariffs if ya want Cowboy, but no Indian is going to buy your MAGA Garbage.

Just ask those Ozzies who wouldn't take your USA born and bred Mad Cows. Preloaded with Mad Cow Disease, but wait.... the real reason the meat doesn't sell is because it is POOP in comparison to the local stock and people would only ever buy it to feed to their dogs.

Can someone explain to me how all these tariffs are helping Americans? In theory, it may sound good to have them, but in reality, stuff is costing us more because of them.

USA is a consumer nation, hardly any of their products are wanted or needed on a global scale.. Trump can rant and rave about making USA products for USA, but watch inflation soar at an astonishing rate. Its why he wants to control Feds and data releases, so he can hide whats actually happening..

Last week, I bought a jar of hamburger (sliced) dill pickles from the store. I took a look at the ingredient label. Guess where they came from? They tasted like it, too. I could not find any brand of sliced dill pickles that were made in the US. Go figure.

Modi was assigned to the "too late" category. He has to prepare to be fired.

You demand it that’s why India sell it. They didn’t force you to buy anything. Now If India need anything they will buy it from you. But why tariff? To save your own company what other countries doing? If not then your tariff is illegal.

This doesn't make sense at all. Business requires two or more parties. So, how does India do business with you, but you don't do business with them? Make that make sense!

Orange man doesn't realize that by turning India away from the US they will go to the alternative. China. Which strenghtens China. This moron is pushing two enemies towards each other and the recent meeting between Modi and Xi is already a sign that the US is hurting itself more than anyone else.

You have Product X.
India manufactures it using local materials and local labor. Product costs 15$ and it's listed at 30$ in India.
US manufactures it using local materials and local labor. Product costs 70$ and it's listed at 150$ in the US.
Let's also assume the product made in India is 30% less qualitative than the US one

A US entrepreneur can create a business and starts importing the 30$ Indian product (assuming list price, not discounted) which he then lists it on the US market for 100$ negotiable. Even at 30% less quality than the US product, it can still sell pretty well.

An Indian entrepreneur will not jump at the opportunity of importing a 150$ US product (assuming list price, not discounted) on top of which you add import duties/tariffs, because he can't turn a profit in India given the prohibitive cost of the product. Even with 0 tariffs in India it's still not profitable.

So you do have two parties, but it's a one sided relationship.

A lot of these situations where created by "successful entrepreneurs" who buy cheap (low) and sell expensive (high) = taaaadaaaaa profit
