President Trump, farmers and the anti-gravity tariff machine

2018-01-18 11:22:00| Daily apparel & textile news and comment - from just-style.com

But while those in our industry who focus on global supply chains can easily empathise with the farmers...the difference is that the US government won't bail us out, writes Rick Helfenbein, president and CEO of the American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA).
