Trump’s new tariff threat could make iPhones, toys and shoes more expensive

CNN  

Washington CNN Business — iPhones. They could all get more expensive if President Donald Trump follows through on his threat to expand tariffs on Chinese imports to include an additional $325 billion in goods left out last year. A long list of consumer electronics could also end up being hit by new tariffs, including smartphones, computers, televisions, fitness trackers, Bluetooth wireless headsets and even drones, according to Sage Chandler, vice president of international trade at the Consumer Technology Association, a major industry trade group. Moody’s Analytics predicts that the tariff rate hike and new tariffs would slow GDP growth in China by 1.2 percentage points. The Consumer Technology Association and its members raised concerns over trade policy with the White House and Congress as recently as last week, when a number of the group’s member CEOs visited Washington.
