The Biden administration’s weak trade policies have finally forced America to take drastic action. A new executive order is shaking up global shipping in ways that show just how badly our country has been getting ripped off for decades.
Twenty-five countries have now stopped sending packages to America through their postal services. This isn’t some accident or technical glitch. It’s the direct result of President Trump’s executive order ending the sweetheart deals that let foreign companies flood our markets with cheap junk.
For years, foreign businesses could ship small packages to America without paying any duties or taxes. This so-called “de minimis” loophole was basically welfare for overseas competitors who were stealing jobs from American workers. While our own businesses had to follow strict rules and pay heavy taxes, foreign companies got a free ride.
The new rules take effect on August 29 and they’re already causing chaos overseas. Major shipping companies like DHL have stopped taking business packages from Germany to America. Even gifts worth more than 100 dollars are getting blocked.
This is exactly what happens when America finally puts its foot down. Countries that have been taking advantage of us for years are now scrambling to figure out how to deal with fair trade rules. They’re finding out that the gravy train is over.
Liberal critics will whine about higher prices and shipping delays. But real Americans understand that we can’t keep letting foreign countries undercut our businesses and workers. Sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet.
The postal chaos proves just how dependent the world has become on ripping off American consumers. These countries built their entire export strategies around exploiting loopholes that hurt American manufacturers and small businesses.
This executive order is long overdue and shows what happens when America finally stands up for itself. Foreign companies will have to play by the same rules as everyone else or find somewhere else to sell their products.
