I don't have a link for a source. Mainly listening to economic analysts on cable.
I heard a similar discussion on Sirius radio the other day. The one I heard was talking about a specific American company (forgot which one) that makes air conditioners. Most of their air conditioners are made in Mexico. They were predicting a steep increase in prices if the company resumed making the air conditioners back in the States.
we are hypocrates,we want americans to have jobs but when comes time to buy something we drive straight to the nearest walmart.do you think you're going to buy an american made shirt for $15?? you can take any product you now buy and easily quadruple it price.

I remember reading in Motor Trend years ago, a guest article by Jay Leno about how machining has all been shipped over to China. Not just the jobs but the machines themselves. We literally do not have the high tech-high tolerance machining tools needed to make many products.
Simply not so, some of the most highly regarded machinery is made right here in the US!
Reciprocal trade restrictions. China greatly restricts the flow of goods from the US to itself (same with Europe). Trump would need to write a new restriction that mimics China's own policies. Same thing with Japan and our cars. It's not quite as simple as that though because many foreign auto makers have plants in the US to prevent those reciprocal tariffs and restrictions.
Trade agreements are tremendously complicated, cars, clothes and cell phones are a perfect example. Products are built in other countries and once you start down the path of canceling agreements or adding restrictions it can do some real damage.

no it won't because you don't HAVE to buy those specific brands.
LOL, I'll believe Trump when he closes his clothing factories in China and brings their manufacture back to the US.
This is environmentalist doing their best to keep business out of the USA, while polluting other countries. Does Trump really own factories in China?
Strange, how this administration is the first to call out slavery from long ago, but has yet to address environmentalist and countries who use their people for slave labor still today.
Most analysts predict prices of goods would skyrocket. For example Apple's marquee iPhone 6S is approximately $650 -- would you be willing to pay for the phone if it was $1,300? Or more? $1,300-yes, $2000 or more not so sure.

No, just HIS goods being made by people working jobs HE sent to China from America while HE whines about others doing the same thing. Damn HYPOCRITE!
