Trump warns US children may face toy shortages due to China tariffs

President Trump acknowledged that his tariffs on China could lead to fewer and more expensive goods for American consumers, specifically noting that children may have 'two dolls instead of 30' as a result. He argued that these measures are necessary to ensure fair trade, claiming that much of what the U.S. imports from China is unnecessary and that China is suffering more due to its factories struggling. Retailers and business leaders have raised concerns that tariffs could drive up prices and reduce product availability, especially during key shopping seasons. Trump emphasized that the tariffs are intended to encourage companies to move production to the U.S. and blamed economic challenges, such as a recent GDP decline, on the previous administration. Despite worries about higher costs, Trump and his advisers insist the long-term effects will benefit the U.S. economy. These comments come amid ongoing tensions and uncertainty about the outcome of the trade dispute with China.
