Thousands of products that are made in China will soon start disappearing from store shelves in the United States.  If a trade deal is not made with China very soon, the summer of 2025 will be “the summer of empty shelves”.  According to the Trump administration, “U.S. goods imports from China in 2024 totaled $438.9 billion”.  We cannot possibly replace 438.9 billion dollars worth of goods that are normally sent to us by the Chinese.  In fact, there are thousands of products that Americans regularly buy that are currently only made in China.  We have foolishly become extremely dependent on the Chinese, and now most of the things that China makes will no longer be coming here.
