Definitions welcomes a warm welcome in the industrial country of Trump in Ohio

On a quick journey around the small city of Delta, you can discover nearly many Trump flags such as American stars and lines.

At the gas station near Ohio, pumps carry traces of the recent administration, where the slogans criticized Trump’s ancestor: “Whoever votes in favor of Biden, owes me with gas!”

This is Trump Country- The Republican Ticket, which she easily won here in November’s presidential elections with a margin of approximately two to one. While the markets are in a state of turmoil after Trump revealed the widespread global definitions this week, many people in Delta and hundreds of cities in the Middle West like they are still returning the president’s plans.

These plans, to impose customs tariffs ranging from 10 % and 50 % on almost each country, have pushed global trade and led to warnings that prices may soon rise to American consumers. Meanwhile, Trump said this step will have unfair commercial imbalances, strengthen the American industry and increase revenues.

For some in Delta, the president’s argument for fairness resonates.

“I don’t want people to suffer in other countries, I do not do it,” said Marie Miller, director of Delta Candy Emporium, who is located in the middle of the village’s main street. “But we need to get an equal stadium.”

Miller, Trump’s voter three times, believes that other countries have not played fair in trade. Like many here, she prefers to buy American -made goods.

While monitoring her stock of multi -colored sweets, she made a lot of it in the United States, weighs how she could be affected by new import taxes, and remembers how for decades that one of her favorite brands was moving her factories abroad. Other trousers of Levi jeans have not bought since then.

Miller is not annoyed by the possibility of increasing prices, which many economists say these new customs duties will bring them.

“Sometimes you should walk through the fire to reach the other side,” she said.

“If the customs tariffs restore companies and businesses to the American people who work hard like people who live here, this is worth it.”

These feelings are common in Delta, a village of about 3,300 people less than 100 miles (160 km) south of Detroit, even with the formulation of cities in the other West City for sharp shocks.

The auto industry, with complex global supply chains, appears especially vulnerable to the influence of the main new definitions, with companies in Michigan to the north and Indiana to the west that already announces the closure of the factory and job discounts.

But on the outskirts of Delta, there is a group of solid companies that have been here since the nineties that may be in a better position in a new age of American protectionism.

One of these companies urged North Star Bluescope, Trump to expand the tariffs on steel and aluminum.

However, at the same time, she asked to exempt the raw materials you need, such as metal scrap.

North Star Bluescope did not respond to the interview requests, but in a back room at the near Barn Restaurant, a few local steel workers who just finished the night seizure were drinking beer together early Friday morning.

The workers, who asked not to be named, often laughed and ignored when they were asked about the overwhelming definitions that Trump announced at the White House on Wednesday.

It was a clear indication that this economic news is unlikely to destroy the weekend.

Outside the restaurant, some local population looked at Delta in the potential aspects of these import taxes.

“No one is feverish. We will not lose any sleep on it,” said Jin Borkulder, who has a decades -long agricultural profession in the agricultural industry.

Although he owns some stocks, Mr. Burkholder said they were long -term investments and were not obsessed with sharp declines in the two days following the president’s announcement.

“If you have some backup cash, it may be the right time to buy some stocks while it is cheap,” he said.

Luiz Gilson said, a few two compartments, when she finished having breakfast with her son Rob, Louise Gilson said – quietly – she really did not trust the president.

But Gilson, along with many people here, said she wanted to see the work. I agreed with sincerity when another dinner was stuck: “Trump may be a mistake, but he is at least trying.”

“The other people will not do squat,” she said, referring to the Democratic Party.

The Gilson team agreed that the great local industrial employers were generally good neighbors, as they contribute to the local economy, charities and the broader society, even because they saw some of the least desirable effects in industrial development and anxiety about the exchange of economic pie.

While they narrated the history of Delta, they described gradually erosion in the quality of life that they believed made many people ready to dice even when economists say Trump’s tariff plan comes with flagrant risks.

“It was a small city to grow in,” Rob Gylson recalls. But he said he now seems less safe and friendly than he was when he was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s.

“It seems that the heart of America has disappeared,” he said.

“It is the type of place where 25 % or 30 % of people are struggling with their demons,” added Luiz Gilson Delta.

Although these issues have nothing to do with definitions, the challenges faced by people in cities such as Delta may somehow to explain the reason why President Trump is ready in favor of doubt, even as the markets in Wall Street decrease.
