- *Increased costs for consumers*: Rising prices of imported goods, which may lead to higher costs for consumers and decreased demand.
- *Economic uncertainty*: Trump's tariffs have increased economic uncertainty, prompting businesses and households to delay investment and hiring decisions.
- *Global trade relations*: Trump's tariffs have strained trade relations with countries like China, Canada, and Mexico, leading them to take retaliatory actions.
