MHProNews has reported previously on the impact of tariffs on manufactured housing.  The short version, its nominal, per sources in HUD Code home building.

Experts Break Down Anticipated Cost$ of Tariffs on New Manufactured Homes

Trump slaps China with tariffs on up to $60 billion in imports: ‘This is the first of many,’ said CNBC and other sources.

  • President Donald Trump targets China with up to $60 billion in Chinese imports.
  • The Trump administration says China’s trade practices involve stealing American companies’ intellectual property.
  • China recently argued that it should not be punished if it doesn’t want to buy what the U.S. is selling.

President Trump Signs Tariffs, Stocks Drop, Plus MH Market Updates

In a twist, Democrats are among those supporting President Trump’s tariffs that target China. With the markets dropping 700 points on the announcement of the first of several planned tariffs, that will be our market focus tonight.

This was a campaign promise by the president, but it is widely seen as a risky one to keep.  China has been accused for years of practices that have harmed American companies, including the thrift of intellectual property, or subsidizing the dumping of products on the U.S. and other markets.

But perhaps more important is the issue of defense. Without certain industries, America would be vulnerable if a major hot war ever broke out.  The U.S. would not, for example, be able to buy products from China if it were at war with China.
