Economists are warning that President Trump's newly implemented tariffs could lead to increased prices for American consumers across a variety of goods. The tariffs, designed to protect domestic industries, effectively raise the cost of imported products. This increase is often passed on to consumers, resulting in higher prices at the checkout. Specific products likely to be affected include imported materials used in manufacturing, consumer electronics, and certain food items. The extent of the price increases will depend on various factors, including the ability of companies to absorb the tariffs and the availability of alternative suppliers.
