#TrumpTariffs

Roadblock or Revenue? 💰

Former President Trump is reinstating sweeping tariffs:

• 55% on Chinese imports, including rare-earths and fentanyl-linked goods.

• 50% on steel and aluminum, via Section 232    .

🇺🇸 Goal: fund tax cuts and boost U.S. manufacturing—but at a steep cost:

• Higher consumer prices (+2.4% CPI in May) .

• GDP hit (~6% drop over time), lower wages, and risk to jobs .

• Retailers passing the cost on—apparel and electronics priced up 31–40% .

🧩 Now, a fragile truce with China is emerging—but uncertainty remains.

What will matter most: consumer impact or industrial revival?
