US EditionTrump Tariffs ‘as Big an Inflation Threat as COVID-19’
- President Trump announced new tariffs affecting nearly 90 countries on April 2, raising some duties as high as 50%, then paused most levies a week later.
- The tariffs stemmed from trade negotiations with a 90-day deadline ending July 8, with uncertainty remaining over which countries might face reduced or restored tariffs.
- Business leaders report that tariffs combined with rising interest rates and supply chain disruptions have increased operational costs, especially for small and mid-sized enterprises .
- A MYOB survey shows 17% of SMEs feel tariff impacts, 41% expect global economic destabilization, and more than one-third foresee higher business costs and inflation.
- The tariff situation and increasing government debts suggest policymakers must act decisively to balance economic growth and stability, while further tariff changes may depend on negotiation progress.
