Trump's Proposed Tariffs Could Trigger Massive Economic Backlash
Experts warn that Trump's tariff plan may lead to higher consumer costs and economic instability in the U.S.
- Trump's proposed tariffs include a 20% tax on all imports and a 60% tax on Chinese goods, raising concerns of a new trade war.
- Economists argue that the tariffs are regressive and would disproportionately impact lower-income households by increasing prices across the board.
- The tariffs could cost U.S. consumers up to $3.9 trillion and potentially lead to job losses and slower economic growth.
- Retaliatory tariffs from other countries could further harm U.S. exports, exacerbating economic challenges for American businesses.
- Critics highlight that Trump's tariff policy could lead to increased inflation and higher interest rates, undermining economic progress.
