President Trump is keeping his promises to the American people. Almost 30 countries have now suspended postal shipments to the United States because Trump ended special tax breaks for cheap foreign goods. This bold move puts American workers first and sends a clear message to the world.
The new rules target packages worth less than $800 that used to skip tariffs and duties. These shipments flood our markets with cheap foreign products that hurt American businesses. Trump signed the order in July and it takes full effect on August 29.
Countries like Mexico, India, and Japan are scrambling to figure out the new system. Some have completely stopped sending business packages to America. This shows how much these nations were benefiting from unfair trade deals that hurt hardworking Americans.
The President is fighting the deadly fentanyl crisis that kills thousands of Americans every year. Criminals hide this poison in small packages from overseas. By ending the special treatment for these shipments, Trump is closing a dangerous loophole that drug dealers have used for years.
America has been getting ripped off in trade for decades. Foreign countries send us cheap goods while charging huge tariffs on American products. Trump promised to fix these unfair deals and that’s exactly what he’s doing.
Personal gifts under $100 and letters can still be sent from most countries. This shows Trump cares about families staying connected while still protecting American interests. The policy targets commercial shipments that flood our markets with foreign goods.
Some economists worry about higher prices for consumers. But they ignore how cheap foreign goods have destroyed American manufacturing jobs. Trump knows that bringing production back to America is worth short-term costs.
This is what America First looks like in action. Other countries may not like it, but Trump works for the American people, not foreign governments. He’s delivering on every promise to make our trade deals fair and protect our borders from deadly drugs.
