American manufacturers will be slapped with an extra 34% charge on the little stickers they put on their products to show they are made in the USA.

The stickers, made in a factory in Guangdong Province, were previously shipped to the US tariff-free, but will now be hit by Donald Trump’s new levy, forcing US producers to raise the price of their goods.

    The only thing that made me realize this isn’t real is the percentage sounded off…

      No, the number is correct. Trump added 34% tariffs to Chinese imports, and China retaliated by the same amount. So yeah, if these stickers are made in China, the US is going to pay a 34% tariff on their import lol
