Can Promote Competition |
| Brian Knight and Trace Mitchell | American Banker |

The US Isn't Winning Trump's Trade War,
Everyone Is Losing |
| Bruce Yandle | Washington Examiner |
|
| President Trump likes to claim the US is winning the trade war by pointing out that tariff revenues, paid by China, are increasing significantly. Unfortunately, this isn't the full picture. The tariffs are not paid by China, except where government-owned enterprises are exporting goods to the US. Instead, a large part of the tariffs are paid by US consumers who continue to purchase higher-priced Chinese goods. In the Washington Examiner, Bruce Yandle outlines how both sides are losing the trade war and the costs borne by each country. |
