China at the moment has introduced an additional 5% for the delivery of petroleum products. In addition, from 5 to 10% for the import of American goods, with a total value of $ 75 billion.
Who will suffer the most?
It is no secret that most American companies assemble their devices in China, so they will have to pay extra for each product brought to the United States in this way. As a result, companies will either have to raise prices or abandon profits. In particular, already 200 companies, including Nike, Adidas and Converse, have turned to the president to reconsider the decision. Including negotiations were held with Tim Cook - the head of Apple.
The latter corporation may lose about 500 million profit. This is only according to preliminary estimates.
