The US announced a temporary reduction in tariffs on Chinese imports, while China reciprocated, leading to a surge in the stock market. The backdrop includes President Trump's goals to revive American manufacturing and coal industries, influenced by adviser Peter Navarro. Historically, manufacturing jobs have drastically decreased from over 25% in the 1970s to around 8% today. However, critics raise alarms about the health hazards associated with these jobs, citing personal experiences of labor hardships, unsafe conditions, and the resurgence of black lung disease among miners, questioning the effectiveness of such tariffs on truly improving workers' lives.
The goal of recent tariff cuts between the US and China is restoring American manufacturing but raises concerns about the safety and viability of these jobs.
Tariffs have been introduced with promises of revitalizing manufacturing and coal, while ignoring the realities of dangerous working conditions and health risks for American workers.
