Trade War With China Took Toll on U.S., but Not Big One

WASHINGTON—Farmers took a big hit. Importers of auto parts, furniture and machinery choked down punishing tariffs. Investment between the world’s two largest economies tumbled.

Yet despite the damage to these trade-related sectors, most of the U.S. economy sailed through two turbulent years of trade war with China with barely a scratch, a review of key economic indicators shows.

The Journal is primary a financial paper so why don't you reporters report the facts. More than 5,000 of the present jobs R part time jobs. With the Decennial Census coming in April 2020 in June or July all of these part time workers will be looking for a full time job.

It’s actually quite scary how often Trump is right. Trump will be the death of expertise. 🧐

But you said ..... Trump started trade war !! Whaaaaaaaaa We gonna recession !!! Whaaaaa You are FAKE NEWS AND TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE

tariffs.... that'll never work.

We only gave away 50B in welfare to farmers.

$28 Billion in farmer bail outs. Welfare Queens!

Tell that to all the small family farms that will be snatched up by corporations now while the families lose the work of generations.

It does seem that an inordinate number of dire predictions that experts have made since November, 2016 have been spectacularly wrong.

Translation : okay yeah. The bad stuff that we promised would happen (because face it, Orange Man bad), hasn't happened yet. But you just wait! Thirty years from now something is going to happen and bam! Trumps fault!

What a joke. Your short term (more accurate predictions to make were wrong) so we should trust your long term predictions (who tend to be more wrong) as still viable. re you kidding or smoking something? Can you be more fake or wrong then this?

Translation we were wrong but holding out hope in the next 10 years we might be kinda right..

The WSJ being fed info by the current administration didn’t bother vetting the stories, they just raced to publish garbage. This isn’t a trade deal it’s a symbolic waste of time. If anything it will cause pork, beef and soybean prices to increase creating inflationary pressures

All the WSJ has done is publish fake &misleading news regarding the US/China Phase 1 trade deal. The WSJ misleadingly and repeatedly (8 times in 2019) published market moving factually unsupported stories about how close a deal was. I know the WSJ was being Fed info by Kudlow

“All those short-term negative consequences us chicken littles were harping about were bullshit....but let me tell you why the long-term ones aren’t....”

That was hard wasn’t it? Could have saved some letters and just said you were wrong.

Thanks Iran

yep, you were wrong. you media fakes are stupid

Yeah, dont give up hope. Trump may still fail eventually and wont that be grand. Orange man so bad

Compost has been wrong on every Prediction Maybe you should hire Paul Krugman to baby sit your kids

I live in the middle of farm country, surrounded by farms, farmers, grain elevators, implement dealers, the works. The effects, counter to a lot of the media coverage, has been hardly noticeable.

You wanna tell that to people who lost their farms or committed suicide....

'but the longer-range consequences are yet to be seen'- the consequences will be a great help to both!

American won. Next.

So, they have decided to report on what they DON'T KNOW. Hilarious.

Compare with the toll China is taking. It's nothing.

'The damage was tempered to a degree by the U.S. government responding with $28 billion in aid to farmers. The USDA estimated aid payments will make up one-third of U.S. farm income in 2019.'
