Chinese Factory Makes ‘Trump 2020’ Campaign Flags During US-China Trade War

Videos and images released this week show a Chinese factory making new materials for President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign with the slogan “Keep America Great!”

Jiahao Flag Co Ltd in Fuyang, a prefecture-level city in eastern China’s Anhui province, has been manufacturing the flags that suppliers will use to help promote Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, according to Reuters.

The factory has made about 90,000 banners since they started the project in March. According to manager Yao Yuanyuan, the number of orders during a low season is unusual, but she believes is the result of the trade war between the U.S. and China.

“If they add more tariffs, sales will gradually decrease a little,” she said, according to AFP. “Our price will become too high and the sales will gradually drop. So we hope it doesn’t happen.”

The flags cost about $1 each, but the price could go up once the tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods imposed by the Trump administration hits China.

After Beijing retaliated, the Trump administration announced levies on an additional $200 billion worth of products and threatened to add more, targeting all of China’s exports to the U.S., including flags.
