what it means is there is less useful for foreigners to hold u.s. dollars. if the u.s. begin to shut itself out of markets, there is less purpose to hold u.s. dollars, so it is a long-term strategy for strengthening of u.s. dollar, these trade tactics are not a good strategy. ramy: september 6 is the deadline for these tariffs on chinese goods. how optimistic or pessimistic are you that something that will happen? john: something will happen, i am confident. ramy: to the negative? [laughter] john: to the negative, yes. i am confident that a fairly substantial set of tariffs will be applied to chinese goods that will actually lead to a big drop in u.s. purchases of chinese goods with increasing and purchases of other goods, and high-level retaliate, then we have to see what happens to the cycle after that. something will happen, it will be negative, then we will see how quickly china response and what they respond on. they are not limited to tariff policy. haidi: how inflationary are punitive trade actions? john: they will increase some. prices will get past to consumers
