  • Tariffs are raising costs, slowing production, and feeding inflation, contradicting the administration's promise to rebuild domestic industry without burdening consumers.
  • Companies like Chicken of the Sea have cut operations due to rising costs from tariffs on imported materials, warning of unavoidable price increases for consumers.
  • The Supreme Court is preparing to decide on the legality of many of Trump’s global tariffs, potentially leading to a more surgical approach.
  • Economists confirm tariffs are causing measurable upward pressure on consumer prices, despite administration denials.
