The U.S. is feeling the heat as Trump-era tariffs continue to drive up costs for everyday essentials, from electronics to clothing. Analysts warn this ‘costly miscalculation’ is hitting American wallets hardest 🌏⚡️.
Einar Tangen, a senior fellow at the Taihe Institute, called the policy a ‘self-inflicted wound’, arguing that tariffs designed to pressure China are instead squeezing U.S. households. With prices rising faster than paychecks, families face tough choices: ‘Do I buy groceries or delay car repairs?’ one Ohio mom told local media.
Here’s the breakdown:
📈 Electronics & appliances: +12% since 2022
👚 Clothing & accessories: +8% this year
🔧 Auto parts shortages worsening supply chains
While global markets adjust, experts say the tariffs risk long-term damage to U.S.-China trade ties—critical for tech innovation and climate initiatives. As Tangen put it: ‘Trade wars aren’t as easy to win as a game of Fortnite.’ 🎮💥
