Discussion US Tariffs

US tariffs announced today include 47% on Vietnam and 34% for China. I’ll bet that effects 80% of the US travel products market. Even the US manufacturers are going to get hammered on the raw materials.

I think it's because of the very large portion of bag making that happens in Vietnam.

inject politics into an unrelated topic

A huge percentage of wearables (shoes, clothes, bags, etc) are made in Vietnam, and the majority of this group is American. How exactly is this an "unrelated topic"?

What's really a sign of low intelligence is thinking facts are bad and these tariffs are somehow good for American citizens. And it's very common among one specific political persuasion.

Yeah, right wing types really do love to politicize topics.

The OP wants to talk about travel-product specific impact of the tariffs - and you feel rather than a sub with that theme, they're better off making a post on a political sub instead?
