American companies welcomes the battle for trade

He went to the grocery store in the United States and shelves filled with strawberry strawberries and Bon Maman Governor – some of 200 million dollars (154 million pounds) in a jam that Europe sends to America every year.

But he tried to search for an American -made gel in Europe, and it is likely to be limited.

The United States exports less than $ 300,000 from jam every year to the mass.

It is an imbalance in the American company JM SMUCKER, one of the largest sellers for such products in America, blames an import tax by 24 % Her fruit spreads her face in the European Union.

The company wrote in a letter to the White House this month: “The small value of the American export to the European Union is completely attributed to the high European Union tariffs,” and asks the Trump administration to address the issue while it is prepared to a “tariff” tariff tax on “tariff” in the largest commercial partners in America.

The company said: “The US definitions exchanged on the European Union and gels will work to settle the stadium stadium,” noting that the highest tariff in the United States is currently only 4.5 %.

On the global level, Trump’s pushing to spread a tariff against close commercial partners – who have average levels of tariff similar to America – led to anger and beating, with economists’ warnings about high prices and other potential economic pain.

Some companies in the United States have echoed those concerns, but Trump’s calls for customs tariffs also send long -term frustrations that many companies feel towards foreign competition and the policies they face abroad.

SMUCKER message was one of the hundreds of hundreds to the White House, seeking to influence the next group of definitions, is expected to be revealed on April 2.

Apple farmers raised the great contrast in the duties of imports facing their fruits in countries such as India (50 %), Thailand (40 %) and Brazil (10 %), as well as health rules in countries like Australia said their exports are inappropriate.

The flow of companies informed the digital taxes in Canada and Turkey, who said “they are not fairly targeting and distinguishing” against American companies.

Criticism of the oil and natural gas lobby The regulations in Mexico require a partnership with the state -owned oil company and other policies.

The White House stands out on the unpleasant ethanol tariff in Brazil (18 %, compared to 2.5 % in the United States), and unique car in Europe (10 %, compared to 2.5 % in the United States) and motorcycles in India (even a few years ago, 100 % compared to 2.4 % in the United States).

Trump suggested that his plan for mutual definitions would help treat such grievances, which pumps his advertisement as a “liberation day”.

But even companies that seek to take action on their issues have expressed their hesitation on the first president’s strategy, a question strategy, which risk revenge and a wider trade war.

With April 2 waving on the horizon, there is still uncertainty about the goals and scope of White House plans, especially with Trump launching a wide range of other duties.

“We will be cute,” at the same time, at the same time, he announced the destructive definitions of foreign cars and auto parts. “I think people will be surprised by pleasure.”

India has already said it will reduce motorcycle tariffs – a clear bet that Trump’s tariff is a strategy designed to gain influence of commercial conversations.

But analysts have warned that those who hope that Trump is planning to use mutual definitions to negotiate changes elsewhere, may be disappointed, and the president also indicated that he could simply be satisfied by reaching back.

“In some days, it comes to revenge and the equivalent of things only and other days related to reducing customs tariffs, then other days, the third days, it comes to manufacturing to the United States,” said William Rinsh, the chief adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, in Washington Tenkank.

“I used it all at different times – no one topic here you can rely on.”

The incompatibility between the acute tool for the most suitable definitions and issues has led to the fact that white companies have led to a sensitive dance, as companies propose tariffs in their own interest, with hope also to avoid the repercussions of this type of comprehensive duties that Trump proposed at the table.

For example, Northstar Bluescope Steel, which employs 700 people in the United States steel melting of recycled minerals, urged Trump to expand the scope of tariffs on steel and aluminum into parts.

However, at the same time, a request to exempt the raw materials it needs, such as metal scrap.

Likewise, the Lobby Group for JM SMUCKER and other major food manufacturers, the Consumer Branders Association, warned of “extensive definitions and excessive recitations” that may make it more expensive for its members to import components such as cocoa, which were not made in the United States.

“I do not necessarily want the current administration to say, well, we will impose a tariff,” Tom Madrieke, Vice President of the Supply Series in the Supply Series, said in a modern forum on the definitions, hosted by farmers for free trade.

“This exact balance between yes, I want you to take a first trade policy in America to confront unfair trade policies abroad … but maybe not that way.”

Wilber Ross, who held the position of trade secretary in Trump in his first term, said he believed that work concerns will be dispersed when Trump’s plans become clear, describing April 2 as a “big step.”

But he pointed out that the president did not see the negative side slightly to use definitions, or seen either as a source of new revenues, or a way to reduce imports and encourage more manufacturing.

“He is very committed,” he said. “People should have known that something like this would have come because he was talking about it for many years.”

Republicans, who traditionally supported the Party of Trade, remained supportive of Trump’s strategy, even with blame for customs tariff advertisements for selling the last stock market and weakness in recent investigative studies of business confidence and consumer confidence.

In a recent hearing on trade, actor Judy Arengton, a Republican representing Texas, admitted that there may be “some pain associated with the front end”, but he maintained Trump’s focus on this issue that would create opportunities for his components in the end.

“It seems to me that it is not an American not to struggle for manufacturers, producers, and our American workers simply a stadium,” he said.

“We are simply trying … reset these relationships so that we play with the same set of rules,” he added. “Then everyone wins.”
