    What people in the US also need to realize is, that the rest of the world still enjoys more or less unchanged prices on these sites. It is only the US that has put tarrifs on them and it has only affected the American consumers

    On the other hand, American products are getting more expensive everywhere else, because of the retaliational tarrifs by the usa.

    So it is a double edged sword, but the US is holding it by it’s blade! With both hands!

      was an article that EU is gonna get flooded by super cheap items now, china will sell at a loss. that is gonna take shares from US items even more, and US items was already overpriced and gonna become even more expensive.

      its like triple loss for US. they need to lower US wages if they want be able to compete.
