States That Could Be Hurt the Most by a Trade War with China
President Donald Trump recently proclaimed a tariff adjustment, imposing a 10% duty on aluminum imports and a 25% duty on steel imports. The recent tariff adjustment provoked a retaliation from China in the form of their own tariffs on hundreds of products imported from the United States. With tariffs from both the U.S. and China fueling market fears of an escalating trade war, we decided to take a look at the top exports to China by state from last year in order to help pinpoint which states and industries stand to lose the most. Our study shows the top ten exported commodities to China from every state, highlighting the amount, percent share, and top products within each commodity category according to data retrieved from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Key Takeaways
- Leading U.S. exports to China include civilian aircrafts, engines and parts, motor cars and vehicles, and soybeans. As reported elsewhere, China’s tariffs have already targeted these major exports as well as many others
