US–TRUMP-TARIFFS-DOLLS
Two dolls instead of 30? Toys become the latest symbol of Trump’s trade war
SUMMARY: Toy dolls have become the latest rhetorical poster child for President Donald Trump’s tariffs crusade. Trump asserted that children will be fine having two or three dolls instead of 30 if U.S. import taxes increase consumer prices. The response on social media included memes of him portrayed as the Grinch. The president’s comments also touched a nerve with parents who acknowledged their own kids have more toys than they need. Either way, the U.S. toy industry has a lot riding on a possible deescalation of the administration’s trade standoff with China, which produces most of America’s playthings. Some smaller importers say they won’t have enough holiday inventory without a reprieve in the next two weeks.
