Letter to the Editor: A call for action against Trump chaos

Apr 13, 2025
Apr 13, 2025

Trump’s reason for recent tariffs is to equalize trade between countries. He states that there will be "some pain, for long-term gain."

The administration says companies will be incentivized to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. How long is "short-term pain?" There could be long-term pain. It will take companies years to start up new facilities in the U.S. Why should they put out tons of investment if this president is only in power another 44 months? A lot could happen in that timeframe and under the next president.
