Does the his new tariffs on China include his clothing line and MAGA hats as well as Ivanka Trump's clothing line?

I ask because I'd think that would be a yuge conflict of interest if they are not.

Again, none of his supporters care.  They don't care if they lose their farms over Trump's trade policies because "he's their guy", but I still wonder.

Here's the NY Times article on the specifics: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/03/us/politics/white-house-chinese-imports-tariffs.html

Clothing seems to be excluded, but some medications are included. Raw materials and parts for manufacturing and agriculture seem to be the emphasis.  Here is the list of items affected (scroll about 1/5 of the way down to page 14 to the 'annex'): https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/files/Press/Releases/301FRN.pdf
