WASHINGTON—Stephen Pelkey says he’s scoured the globe to find fireworks that match the quality of what he buys from China, without success.
Seeing few alternatives to Chinese imports, Mr. Pelkey has joined hundreds of other business owners and executives in begging Trump administration officials to drop plans to slap 25% tariffs on $300...
NEVER DROP THE TARIFFS. We are not okay with the USA being taken advantage of. What is FAIR is FAIR. China has robbed us blind. Thank you to Trump we are Winning
I do not support individual businesses. I support fair free enterprise and the general welfare of Americans.
The security of the many outweighs the needs of the few
walls streets is owned by China. the capitalists hate the tariffs.. another good reason to vote for Trump
Turning trade and tariff policy over to Trump is a lot like asking OJ Simpson to investigate the Goldman murder, nothing good comes of it
Fireworks! Wait until we will be paying 15.00 a lb for chicken. Illegal immigrants worked in these slaughter houses. Jobs we do not want to do, especially for what these poor people were paid. Now trump has them at the border. Lettuce will be 5.00 per lb. etc

No it just your paper causing shit
I suggest these companies urge China to stop un-fair trading practices. These are NAFTA & WTO loving companies that killed jobs as American factories left with no concern for America. My violin for them, is way to small to play.
Try Made in America you had over a year to resource
Oh hell NO! Nobody said anything when all our jobs were moved overseas. Now the boohooing has begun. Too bad suckers. We the people will be OK! Suck it up buttercups!
Pretty simple: Stop buying products from China. Move your company to another country that doesn't mandate that YOUR company hand over technology that doesn't actually belong to the Chinese who keep stealing our intellectual property.
Let’s get all the lobbyists out of the legislatures & congress. Special interests always support legislation & policy that benefits their sponsors-even when it harms the greater community. Govt of the People by the People for the People.
What is needed is such a robust economy that companies begin to invest in workers. Such that if Johnny welfare gets up off the couch & tries to work he can find a job that pays a wage that will support his family.
Those businesses are selfish - willing to sacrifice the well being of the greater community so a scant few can make large gains.
Struggle? Not hardly. The re set of the economy depends on finding new sources - for goods & labor. Domestic sources. America is at its best when it is working. Bring home the jobs at all costs.
Aren't these the same companies that have raised millions of dollars to get Trump elected, and supported his tax and de-regulation policies? How's that working out?
Oh boohoo...
Ask the Saudis. tRump did.
Tough, get out of commie China. They are not a friend of the USA.

Unfortunate that it has gotten to this point but American manufacturing is resilient.

The Trump Admin has no plan in place & should at least assist in finding alternatives for these businesses. But no, they threaten tariffs with China & Mexico & hurt the very businesses they say the thriving economy is benefiting. It's like they are trying to sabotage themselves
There in lies the issue. We've gutted our ability to produce over the past 27 years we can't sustain our own economy. The real foreign collusion is the Clintons, Walmart, and China.
How are Trump Hotels and golf courses, plus private club still getting china stuff with no tarriffs ? Also still getting h1b visa users from Asia to ther company as cheap workers ! KatiePhang NicolleDWallace chucktodd kasie
