Hey there! 👋 Have you ever traded toys with your friends? Imagine if someone put a rule that you had to give two toys to get one back. That wouldn’t feel fair, right?
Well, in the grown-up world, countries trade things too, like cars, phones, and clothes. Sometimes, they add extra costs called tariffs. Recently, the U.S. government, led by President Trump, added tariffs to goods from other countries.
A German expert named Alexander Rahr says this is causing problems for the whole world 🌍. In an interview with China Media Group, he thinks that using tariffs like this can upset how countries trade with each other. It’s like putting up walls that make it harder for everyone to share and trade fairly.
Mr. Rahr believes that these tariffs might not fix problems at home in the U.S. Instead, they could make things tougher for people in many countries, including America.
Trading fairly helps countries get along and people have the things they need. So, it’s important to find ways to solve problems without making it harder to trade.
