Should you make major purchases before Trump's tariffs?
SalonBefore Donald Trump became president, tariffs were a topic largely confined to history books. Several retailers affected by the tariffs Trump enacted in his first term have said they would likely raise prices on products if they are expanded in his second. While some tariffs have been in existence long before Trump's presidency, the U.S. enacted new tariffs during his first administration, such as the Section 301 tariffs that added taxes on certain imported goods from China. If there are new tariffs on all imports during the next Trump administration, that could increase costs for Prevelo Bikes further, said Rheuban. In his conversations with past and potential incoming Trump administration officials, Daniels said they are trying to determine how to implement tariffs in a way that enables the U.S. to fight inflation while "taking away an imbalance or what is a perceived economic coercion by China."
