Trump was talking about shutting it down, but nothing yet. They also skip paying any import duties. Also, consider than anything purchased in the USA costs twice what it should because of all the taxes along the way. We can't murder millions of people in all of our wars for free. Traveling in Asia is really fun, most things are really cheap.
