Peter Schiff Slams Donald Trump Again
Prominent economist Peter Schiff has sharply criticized recent assertions suggesting that small businesses will not require tariff relief.
Schiff’s commentary, posted on social media, references a statement implying that these businesses will thrive by manufacturing their products domestically, thus negating the need for tariff assistance.
Schiff vehemently disagrees with this perspective, questioning the understanding of the challenges faced by small enterprises. He argues that many small businesses lack the infrastructure and resources necessary to shift their production to domestic facilities.
Furthermore, Schiff contends that even if domestic manufacturing were a viable option, the increased production costs would inevitably lead to higher prices for consumers. This, he suggests, would make their products unaffordable for a significant portion of their existing customer base, undermining their competitiveness rather than bolstering their profitability.
