He also said more people have been reaching out to him for potential cooperation because of his manufacturing facility as U.S. businesses hit by the trade tensions are seeking ways to work around the tariffs. Excluding China is not a feasible option，澳门永利线上注册， Pashak said. What is even more noteworthy is that it would take years， it's the U.S. consumers who pay the price.
