Find og skriv hjælpeverbet (hjælpeudsagnsordet) i hver af sætningerne. Forklar for hver sætning, hvorfor der er anvendt hjælpeverbum (hjælpeudsagnsord). Brug relevant grammatisk/faglig terminologi.
- President Donald Trump justifies tariffs on imports by arguing that “unfair trade policies” have harmed American workers.
- How do tariffs actually affect them?
- In recent months, entry barriers have been erected, first to protect solar panels and washing machines in January and then steel and aluminum in March.
- Unfortunately, protecting a few narrow industries can generate much broader costs.
- Their costs are now going up, endangering their competitiveness.
- Trump’s recent steel and aluminum tariffs were said to benefit as many as 400,000 workers.
- If one wants to count jobs, the numbers simply don’t add up to a net benefit for the U.S. economy.
- This is not to say that removing all trade barriers and opening the U.S. economy to all comers will solve the problems facing working-class and poorer Americans.
