WASHINGTON—President Trump’s trade war against China didn’t achieve the central objective of reversing a U.S. decline in manufacturing, economic data show, despite tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of Chinese goods to discourage imports.
WSJ: China Trade War DID NOT Boost U.S. Manufacturing Might

The major problem is still labor related. If these other countries are allowed to pay their workers pennies per hour, then of course manufacturing jobs are going to ship there. Trump failed, like most presidents do, because he didn't insist upon a global minimum wage in all trade agreements. If every worker was being paid the same minimum no matter where they worked, labor would no longer be the determining factor about where jobs are created.

The only thing Trump's program accomplished was making American farmers (Republicans) welfare junkies.
No such thing as socialism with Trump and the Republicans.
MAGA!!!

A global minimum wage??? Are you insane or just plain stupid? The US themselves can't agree upon a national minimum wage and you are trying to ram this idea down the world's throat. Ridiculous.

Everything is so expensive now. Hopefully JB will eliminate tarrifs and things will be affordable again.
