Sentences with phrase «damage tax efforts»

Not exact matches

When Trump announced the first round of tariffs on China, it was seen as a declaration of a trade war — a progressive effort by the two nations to damage each other economically, mainly through taxes and trade restrictions.

However, if some (or many) of these efforts have some smoke - and - mirror aspect to them, or if they become the seemingly easy «solution du jour» and allow us to think that we can avoid larger solutions (fuel efficiency standards; carbon tax, or firm carbon cap combined with a robust and regulated carbon credit trading mechanism; substantial investments in new energy technologies; energy conservation; etc.), their net impact can be more damaging than beneficial.
