Comments by "Deborah Freedman" (@deborahfreedman333) on "Trump launches trade war with China" video.
Having traveled to Canada, Europe and Israel, I've experienced VATs. They are sales taxes, and unlike tariffs, are applied to all goods, domestic and imported. If you save your sales receipts, in most countries you can get the VAT back as you leave. That doesn't occur with tariffs. Israel also puts a tariff on imported goods, you don't get that back at the border. Any economist who confuses tariffs with VATs is not credible.
