US EditionTrump's tariffs threaten to end quarter-century era of cheap goods for U.S. consumers

- Businesses like Learning Resources and MGA Entertainment face soaring tariffs, leading to sharply increased costs on toys and electronics that may double prices by the holiday season.
- Estimates predict tariffs could reduce U.S. economic growth by over 1 percentage point in 2025, with consumer inflation expectations rising to 4.4%, and product prices on cars and electronics climbing significantly.
- The tariffs could cause job losses in sectors like autos, raise consumer prices on everyday goods, and the long-term effects on trade deals and economic tensions remain uncertain.
