It doesn’t, nor should it prevent them, if I’m being blunt. A 100%+ tariff on the country where they produce their shit is tantamount to telling them as a company that they’re simply not allowed to make any profit anymore whatsoever, within the United States. And it would basically force them to operate as a de facto charity if they didn’t raise their prices in the US as a result. Which - for those in the back - is precisely the fucking point everyone is making about tarrifs and how stupid they are. This is all just a money grab by orangeboi.

This isn’t me being an Apple Stan; this is just simple economics. It’s applicable to ANY company that’s producing stuff in China.

Also, if orangeboi tries to do some sort of executive order of “Tim Apple isn’t allowed to raise his prices in the US”, that’s a nakedly apparent shakedown.
