VALUE TODAY. AND ALL OF THIS AFTER THE PRESIDENT MOVED FOR A 90 DAY PAUSE ON NEW TARIFFS, EXCEPT FOR CHINA. AND CHINA ANNOUNCED 84% TARIFFS IN RESPONSE TO THE PRESIDENT’S 104% TAX ON GOODS. NOW, THE PRESIDENT HIT BACK WITH A 125% TARIFF. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS OTHER COUNTRIES ARE WORKING TO MAKE A DEAL. NOTHING IS OVER YET, BUT WE HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF SPIRIT FROM OTHER COUNTRIES, INCLUDING CHINA. CHINA WANTS TO MAKE A DEAL. THEY JUST DON’T KNOW HOW QUITE TO GO ABOUT IT. YOU KNOW, IT’S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THEY DON’T KNOW QUITE. THEY’RE PROUD PEOPLE. AND PRESIDENT XI IS A PROUD MAN. I KNOW HIM VERY WELL AND THEY DON’T KNOW QUITE HOW TO GO ABOUT IT, BUT THEY’LL FIGURE IT OUT. THEY’RE IN THE PROCESS OF FIGURING IT. THE TARIFFS WERE PUT ON PAUSE, BUT THERE ARE SOME STILL IN EFFECT TONIGHT THAT INCLUDES THE 10% BASE TARIFFS ON TRADE PARTNERS, STEEL AND ALUMINUM TARIFFS AND AUTO TARIFFS AND PHARMACEUTICAL TARIFFS. SO AS FAR AS PRICES OF THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO BUY, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN FOR YOU? KMBC NINE BRIAN JOHNSON GETTING ANSWERS TONIGHT ON THOSE LOCAL IMPACTS ON HOLIDAY SHOPPING PRICES COULD BE DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. THAT’S BECAUSE THE GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN TAKES MONTHS FOR AN ITEM TO GO FROM AN IDEA TO ON THE SHELF, 2 TO 3 MONTHS TO PRODUCE, TO SHIP. HOW DO YOU SELL TODAY? NOT KNOWING WHAT YOUR PRICE IS GOING TO BE WHEN THE CARGO ACTUALLY ARRIVES INTO THE UNITED STATES IN 60 TO 120 DAYS FROM NOW? ADAM HILL IS THE CEO OF SCARBOROUGH GLOBAL. IT’S A LOCAL COMPANY THAT HELPS THOUSANDS OF COMPANIES IMPORT PRODUCTS TO THE U.S., CANADA AND MEXICO. HE SAYS THE PAUSE ON RECIPROCAL TARIFFS PROVIDES IMMEDIATE RELIEF. MORE OF THE UNCERTAINTY TARIFFS ARE PAID BEFORE TINKER SHIP LEAVES PORT. ANY PRODUCT ALREADY ON THE WATER DOESN’T PAY. IT’S NEW ITEMS LOADED AND ARRIVING IN THE U.S. IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS THAT WILL SEE THE PRICE INCREASE. IF IT’S MOVING FROM CHINA TODAY, IT HAS THIS NOW 145% TARIFF ON IT WITH ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN TARIFF RATES. COMPANIES DON’T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND. WE’VE SEEN IT ALL OVER THE BOARD AND EVERY COMPANY IS DOING THEIR OWN THING, HE SAYS. IT FEELS LIKE WE’RE IN THE SECOND QUARTER OF A GAME, AND EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS. THAT WILL TAKE TIME. CAN’T WIN A GAME IN THE FIRST HALF, BUT YOU CAN CERTAINLY LOSE ONE. AND DURING RIGHT DURING THE SUPER BOWL. SO THE HOPE IS WE CAN KIND OF GET THROUGH THIS FIRST HALF WHERE NO ONE REALLY LOSES. TO GET READY TO WIN AGAIN IN THE SECOND HALF IN KANSAS CITY. BRIAN JOHNSON, KMBC NINE NEWS. LOGISTICS AND PORT COMPANIES SAY WITH MOST PRODUCTS AT THE CURRENT 10% TARIFFS, CUSTOMERS WON’T LIKELY FEEL THE PRICE
