So if you open a #garment factory in the US, you will make jeans at $33 a pair. At 50% #tariff, the pair made in Lesotho can be imported at $15 (= $10 + 50%x$10). The US garment factory will be extremely uncompetitive. You can do this math with all other countries that #export #apparel to the US, and the conclusion will be the same.

This is why Trump's "Liberation Day" #tariffs will NOT bring new garment manufacturing #jobs to America. The math simply does not add up.

How #tariffs (don't) work: a thread

You have probably seen news stories about #Lesotho, the small impoverished landlocked African country that Trump has targeted with 50% tariffs. It mostly exports denim jeans to the US.

Let us first look at #apparel economics before tariffs.

To make a pair of jeans, the #garment factory in Lesotho spends:
$3 in labor
+ $3 in raw materials (fabric, buttons, zipper, etc.), and
+ $3 to cover fixed costs (building, machinery, utilities, etc.)
= $9
