Alexandria Ocacio Cortes (D-NY )'s hottake Colombian customs duties left a bitter aftertaste on many people in social media, the higher the coffee price of Americans.
President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavi Petro were in Logger Heds when leaders in the South American country did not accept the expulsion of Colombia immigrants from the United States.
This Trump responded to the prompt announcement of 25 % of customs duties for products coming from Colombia.
The President said, “The Colombian government does not allow the legal obligations of the acceptance of criminals that they pushed into the United States!”
On Sunday, New York Progress said that Americans would pay for Trump's proposed tariffs.
“To” punish Colombia, “Trump is trying to make all Americans pay more to coffee. Remember: We pay tariffs instead of Colombia. ” I wrote X.
“Trump is not good, which worsens inflation for worker -class Americans. He is lined up in pockets in classes of hundreds of millions,” said Okashio Cortes.
Despite Ocasio-Cortez's claim, importers are Colombian coffee companies and pay the tariffs to the US Taxation Border Security (CBP).
John Carney, editor of BreitBart News Economics, frequently confirmed the core of Ocasio-Cortez's claim. Customs expenses are inevitably paid by consumers and are not companies that import foreign goods.
Credit critics often argue that importers give customs duties expenses, but there are few evidence to support their views. When Trump imposed customs duties from China, imported steel and aluminum, the price of consumer goods did not rise.
Usually, when large -scale economies impose tariffs, exporters lower prices and maintain their competitiveness and defend market share. As a result, much of the cost of tariffs is borne by exporters, not consumers. Unless tariffs are paid by exporters, they tend to be absorbed by import merchants, not consumers.
Customs duties are certainly not a national sales tax, because it applies only to imported goods and services purchased by US consumers.
New York Post He also noted that many countries other than Colombia, such as Vietnam and Brazil, are exporting coffee.
