It is November 2018, and you have just been selected to be Chief Economic Advisor to the White House. Trump has imposed tariffs on many Chinese products and wants your input regarding this matter. His attention span is very short. Therefore, you must make a compelling case based upon your facts in a compact, easy to read format, either for or against this action. Outside research will be required and will form the core of the report. Requirements:
Maximum 1 page
Simple format, but impactful and easy to grasp message
No handwritten submittals on this assignment
Submit via Blackboard
Due by midnight November 24
Tips:
Do not fill the page with just text and numbers
Be creative

Don’t need a long list. Just the ones that best make the argument in the simplest format.
Assume you will have to make an oral presentation Trump and some staff members.
