Understanding impact of tariffs

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – It’s been nearly a week since the United States decided to increase tariffs on Chinese imports.

The taxes were bumped up 25 percent on $200 billion worth of goods. China then retaliated this week and announced tariffs of up to 25 percent on $60 billion worth of goods.

At last check, trade talks between the United States and China are at a standstill.

He discussed the tariffs, how he sees the trade standoff between the countries playing out and whether tariffs are good or bad for an economy.
