Americans rush to buy cars, appliances before Trump's new tariffs

China Daily  

NEW YORK -- Americans are scrambling to stock up on cars, appliances and other big-ticket imports in anticipation of new tariffs from the Donald Trump administration, a spending spree that could reignite the very inflation buyers are hoping to avoid, reported The Washington Post on Thursday. "President-elect Trump has vowed to enact widespread tariffs as soon as he takes office in January, a move that economists say could lift prices for just about every type of import, including food, cars, computers and gas," noted the report. Trump's planned policies would take aim at America's three largest trading partners, with 60 percent tariffs on all Chinese imports and 25 percent tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. "Spending on electronics and appliances also rose last month, which economists attributed to a combination of Hurricane Helene-related repairs and households preparing for new tariffs," said the report.
