China Daily, November 29: On November 25, local time, US President-elect Trump said that he would impose a 25% tariff on all products entering the United States from Mexico and Canada. In addition, Trump also announced that he would impose a 10% tariff on all goods imported from China.
In response, Rand Paul, a Republican senator from Kentucky, said in a live interview with the host of CBS's "Face the Nation": "I don't like tariffs, and I don't like the president's advocacy of tariffs. I think tariffs are essentially taxes imposed on (US) consumers. You may be able to protect certain industries, but it will cause losses to others at the expense of others."
In addition, after Trump announced the increase in tariffs on many countries, his son Eric Trump cheered the move in an interview with Fox News.
Regarding this move, the social account "Really American" that follows American political news posted a post sarcastically saying: "Those who grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths are clamoring, 'We're going to impose tariffs on you,' as if this will have an adverse impact on China or Mexico. However, it will not, it will only make those who voted in favor of reducing inflation pay more when they buy things."
