Footwear Companies Urge Trump To Cancel Planned Tariffs

President Trump announced a 15% tariff on $300 billion of Chinese goods, with some delays until December 15th. Footwear will face an additional 15% tariff, adding to existing tariffs. Companies like Foot Locker and Adidas argue this will harm American families and lead to job cuts. The tariffs are part of the US-China trade war, following China's tariffs on $75 billion of US goods.
