Scott Horsley: 作为记者，我认为投资者对关税的暂时缓和感到兴奋，进口商们也准备恢复工作。许多进口商之前因高关税而暂停进口，现在关税暂时降低到30%，他们准备重新开始。运费上涨以及剩余的30%关税最终将由工厂、零售商和消费者共同承担。特朗普政府下的关税政策非常不稳定，企业和消费者只能尽力而为。未来关税的不确定性让企业难以决定是否将工厂迁出中国或在美国建厂。 Jonathan Silva: 作为企业主，我认为降低到30%的关税虽然不理想，但足以让我把之前滞留在中国的九卡车游戏运回美国，以避免出现短缺。无论关税如何变化，我都会考虑将生产迁出中国，因为我不想再承担这种风险。过去40天是我公司历史上最艰难的40天，虽然我们能够走出困境，但未来仍然充满不确定性。我认为至少现在我的企业今年能够生存下去。 Bonnie Ross: 作为服装进口商，我认为每个人都想在90天内把货物运出中国，这将导致运费上涨。
