Tariffs1 don't work: U.S. retailers3 tell Trump4

U.S. retailers on Friday urged President Donald Trump to reign5 in his threat to slap tariffs on an additional $100 billion of Chinese goods, warning that a trade war would be disastrous6 for the U.S. economy, including consumers.

"Tariffs don't work. Trade is a good thing for the U.S. economy, and we encourage the president and the Chinese to work it out through negotiation7, multilateral engagement," said the National Retail2 Federations8' Senior Vice9 President for Government Relations, David French.

"Tariffs are taxes and eventually they will find their way into everyday goods that Americans buy in the form of higher prices," added French.

China warned on Friday it was fully10 prepared to respond with a "fierce counter strike" of fresh trade measures if the United States follows through on President Donald Trump's warning.

Trump, in light of what he called China's "unfair retaliation11" against earlier U.S. trade actions, had upped the ante on Thursday by ordering U.S. officials to identify extra tariffs, escalating12 a tit-for-tat confrontation13 with potentially damaging consequences for the world's two biggest economies.

China's Commerce Ministry14 spokesman, Gao Feng, called the U.S. action "extremely mistaken" and unjustified, adding that the spat15 was a struggle between unilateralism and multilateralism. He also said no negotiations16 were likely in the current circumstances.

French said retailers were looking for alternative suppliers amid the uncertainty17 with China, but that nothing could be accomplished18 quickly.

"When you do business internationally, it takes a long time to verify that a supplier is trustworthy, that you want to be in a business relationship with them," he explained. "It's something that is not easily done overnight."
