China's new tariffs are targeting pianos

I'm sorry IF our president (Mr. Trump) contributed to this situation.  Often his intentions are good, but sometimes he does not think things through completely in a rigorous, disciplined way.  I hope everything works out.  Or as Mr Trump will say: "We will see what happens."

Trumps China policy probably the only good thing hes done so far! Steinway will still do well, it is mostly Chinese who buy it now anyway, better pianos out there now anyway I feel.
