Core Viewpoint - The U.S. President Trump's tariff policy aims to promote domestic manufacturing of military equipment and technology products rather than consumer goods like sneakers and T-shirts [1][2]. Group 1: Tariff Policy and Industry Impact - Trump's comments indicate a focus on manufacturing large products and advanced technology, including military equipment and artificial intelligence, rather than textiles [1]. - The American Apparel & Footwear Association argues that tariffs negatively impact the apparel and footwear industry, which relies 97% on imports, and that higher tariffs will increase costs for U.S. manufacturers and harm low-income consumers [1]. - Trump's previous implementation of tariffs has caused significant market fluctuations, with a recent announcement of a 50% tariff on EU goods starting June 1, and a warning to Apple regarding a 25% tariff on non-U.S. produced iPhones [1]. Group 2: Economic Context and Political Implications - Trump has extended the deadline for EU tariffs to July 9 to allow for continued negotiations with the 27-nation bloc [2]. - His electoral success in 2016 and 2024 was partly due to appealing to working-class voters affected by the decline of U.S. manufacturing jobs [2]. - Despite efforts to boost domestic manufacturing through tariffs, the U.S. economy remains dependent on global supply chains, with many goods produced at lower costs abroad [2].
