Trump Continues To Punish Buyers Of Low-cost Goods
The New York Times reports:
Hours after the Supreme Court struck down a significant portion of President Trump’s tariffs, the White House announced that another key pillar of his trade agenda will remain in place: the end of a policy that had allowed billions of dollars of low-value imports to enter the United States tax-free.
That policy, known as the de minimis exemption, had let U.S. importers bring in goods valued at under $800 without the sender paying taxes or completing detailed customs paperwork. The loophole allowed millions of packages to come straight from Chinese factories to American homes duty-free. Mr. Trump has said the exemption also enabled deadly synthetic opioids like fentanyl and their ingredients to flow into the United States.
Many American businesses relied on the exemption for goods sold on sites like Etsy and Shopify. The exemption, intended to spare customs officials from spending too much time and money processing goods of relatively little value, existed for almost a century.

The Supreme Court slapped down Donald Trump today. His feelings got hurt.
Now Trump is acting like a crybaby and taking it out on the American people by imposing new 10% taxes and cancelling the de minimis exception for tariffs for goods up to $800. https://t.co/LjEaxiLYV5
