Americans are getting more than ever over the Adald Trump, identification aggressive strategy, although the former president is cleansed.
A new survey conducted by the Harris poll reveals that among the list of urgent issues including inflation, health care and immigration, definitions are ranked up to 72 % of the respondents-a large jump of 61 % recorded in mid-January.
Trump's overwhelming commercial measures have escalated in recent weeks. Since his return to the White House, he imposed an additional 20 % tariff on Chinese imports and raising taxes on steel and aluminum that is shipped to the United States. Next month, the administration plans to introduce tougher measures: a wave of the so -called “mutual” targets targeting goods from all over the world, in addition to international fees on imports from Canada and Mexico.
The White House continues to say that the high customs tariff will re -encourage American jobs and promote wages in the end, as Trade Minister Howard Lootnick goes to the extent that the potential stagnation will be “worth it.” However, doubts are still high between American voters, with 66 % convinced that any economic advantages acquired from definitions may take years to achieve.
It is not surprising that the nation is divided into political lines. Republicans have reported that they are less worried about the possibility of recession and higher prices for imported goods, while Democrats and independents are significantly more concerned. Only a third of the Democrats and about 40 % of the independents believe that the customs tariff for Canada and Mexico are justified, compared to the overwhelming majority of Republicans who support them.
Inflation and general cost of living remain dominant concerns in all political affiliations. More than 80 % of Americans – including 82 % of Republicans, 91 % of Democrats and 88 % of independents – say they are concerned about the ability to withstand costs. The rising trade tensions have already pushed reprisals from the main American trading partners. Ontario threatened US electricity exports with tariffs last week, prompting Trump to double the Canadian and aluminum steel to 50 %. Although Ontario has declined at a later time, Trump's willingness to escalate sparked more uncomfortable at home and abroad.
Likewise, when the European Union of American duties responded by slapping a 50 % tax on the American borbon, Trump threatened 200 % over European alcohol imports. The result was a volatile period in the Wall Street, where a group of modern economic data that shows that job growth and prices stable with the new investor fears of the slowdown on the horizon.
However, one of the points united Americans of different persuasion: the majority (59 %) believes that the definitions will be short -term. “Most Americans are feelings that” this also passes, “John Jerzema, CEO of Harris poll.” But there is an increasing conviction that, even if these trade measures have been re -recovered soon, the influence on the broader American economy may be unexpected and long.
