COLUMBIA, SC - Beleaguered Fairfield County is losing another 126 jobs after TV-maker Element Electronics said Monday it will close its Winnsboro plant in response to tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
In a letter to the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce obtained by The State, Element wrote “the layoff and closure is a result of the new tariffs that were recently and unexpectedly imposed on many goods imported from China, including the key television components used in our assembly operations in Winnsboro.”
Element said it hoped the closure would be temporary, adding the plant could “re-open in three to six months, but we cannot predict this with any certainty at this time.” The company said layoffs would begin in October.

FYI, it's NOT Trump, it's their business...
Yes, all Trump did was cause new sky high taxes to be imposed on their foreign shipments and imports. But it's their fault right?

Query that to the source bud. I'm delivering the message. You've clearly already made your mind up though so it's kind of pointless.

Funnily enough South Carolina will still go deep red for Trump in 2020. This is the State with a history of threatening secession over tariffs.
Interesting.

You can look at any state in the country, and pick what fits your narrative. Democrats need to be more creative, LOL.

Yeah, it's very interesting... the countries that Trump slapped tariffs on are retaliating by putting levies on US products that will specifically hurt Trumps core base.
