    Here’s my input. I’m an international buyer. We pay the tariff. It gets passed onto the consumer. For China he has to slap another 25-50% on to get the cost to be comparable to US made. If you want to source in the US, you need plants with trained workers and capacity. That doesn’t happen overnight. So for all the products bought made in China, it’s going to get really ugly. Inflation is everywhere, and it’s worse many other places.
