Trump White House says it’s losing $19B-$26B a year in revenue as countries dodge tariffs
A White House report estimates China's transshipment practices cost the U.S. $19B-$26B annually and may displace 450,000 jobs, according to its findings.
- On Thursday, the Trump White House released a report estimating that countries routing exports through third-party nations to avoid U.S. tariffs cost the government between $19 billion and $26 billion in annual revenue.
- China has responded to tariffs since 2018 by sending goods to countries like Mexico and Malaysia for packaging, a practice known as transshipping that obscures manufacturing growth and bypasses U.S. duties.
- White House trade adviser Peter Navarro stated the report uses a $75 billion central figure for transshipped goods, with total estimates ranging from $34.2 billion to $303 billion annually.
- Customs and Border Protection is prototyping artificial intelligence to detect transshipments, while Navarro noted future trade frameworks will include penalties for partners like India that enable such practices.
- The report precedes Chinese Leader Xi Jinping's planned September visit, arriving as America's trade imbalance this year reaches $371 billion, about $189 billion lower than the same period last year.
