Understanding Trump's Tariff Policy
What Are These Tariffs?

- •Some companies may absorb costs to remain competitive
Current Tariff Structure

For Consumers
Expect higher prices on imported goods, especially electronics, clothing, and automobiles. Consider timing major purchases and exploring domestic alternatives.
For Businesses
Importers face increased costs that may require supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies, and potentially seeking domestic suppliers or alternative countries.
For the Economy
Tariffs may reduce imports, potentially protect domestic industries, but also increase inflation and consumer costs while risking retaliatory measures.
