Name
Institutional Affiliation
Foreign Economics and the National Economic Council
Memorandum
DATE: October 7, 2019.
TO: The White House, The Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
FROM: Health and Human Services Department.
SUBJECT: Comments on the Proposed Legislation
The legislation proposed by the senate relates to foreign relations, specifically on trade and relations with low-wage countries. The legislation seeks to create tariffs against any imports from China and other low-wage countries in Africa and Asia. Allies such as Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea would be exempted from these tariffs. While such tariffs would reduce the negative effect that the flood of imports has had on the domestic manufacturing sector, including reducing the rate of unemployment and increasing government tax revenues, they may negatively affect the relations between the United States and countries such as China (Rohrlich, 1987). The previous government regimes (Clinton, Bush, and Obama led governments) put in a lot of work to improve relations and cooperation with China.
