CHINA'S IMPORTS TO U.S. : $300 BLN

CHINA'S IMPORTS TO U.S. : $300 BLN

API - June 25, 2019 – Today, API highlighted the damaging impact that an additional round of tariffs on $300 billion worth of imports from China would have on U.S. energy consumers in testimony before the interagency Section 301 Committee:

"Imposing tariffs on the remainder of U.S. imports from China will put undue strain on the supply chains of the natural gas and oil industry that enable the delivery of reliable and affordable energy to American families and businesses," said Dr. Aaron Padilla, API's Senior Advisor for International Policy.

"American natural gas and oil industry is already under pressure due to tariffs on over 100 products imposed under Section 301 by the U.S. Administration and due to China's retaliatory tariffs on U.S. LNG. Expanding these tariffs would harm the U.S. energy revolution by increasing production costs and creating further uncertainty for energy investments.

"We expect that the Administration will recognize the collateral damage that additional tariffs would cause to the U.S. natural gas and oil industry, economy, and consumers, and we urge the U.S. to de-escalate this trade dispute with China."

Research shows that Americans have paid $22 billion in additional tariffs over the past year, including tariffs on steel and aluminum under Section 232 and tariffs on imported goods from China. Exports of U.S. goods targeted by retaliatory tariffs also fell by 28 percent.

U.S. FINANCIAL RISKS UP
In addition, a number of medium-term risks are growing. The financial system appears healthy but vulnerabilities in leveraged corporates and, potentially, in the nonbank system are elevated by historical standards. An abrupt reversal of the recent supportive financial market conditions or a deepening of ongoing trade disputes represent material risks to the U.S. economy, with concomitant negative outward spillovers. The U.S. public debt-to-GDP ratio is on an unsustainable path and is expected to continue rising throughout the medium-term, as aging related spending rises.
