An approach to how much America gains and loses from imposing tariffs

Loss

The number of households in America is approximately 132 million households

Predictions say that each household will lose 4000$ in the year due to an increase in the value of goods because of tariffs

Which is equivalent to 528$ billion dollars annually

Profit

Tariffs have been raised from an average of 2.2% to 17%

That is a 15% increase in tariffs

The total amount imported by America last year was 3.35 trillion dollars, which means that the customs revenue from this amount at a 15% tariff would be 502 billion dollars, with a difference of 26 billion dollars

There will also be fees imposed by countries in retaliation

This means that these fees will not reduce the American trade deficit at all

As happened with China six years ago, where the trade deficit was 300 billion dollars and is still 300 billion dollars to this day

America needs to look for the flaws that caused American companies to move manufacturing outside the country, which are the high taxes

In general, the current economic war will increase global inflation by approximately 2%

And it may weaken the demand for American goods, which weakens the dollar
