Trump’s tariffs: Average American household faces $2,200 price hike, report says

  • A recent analysis by Yale’s Budget Lab indicates that tariffs implemented under President Trump are expected to increase U.S. Consumer costs by close to 2% in the near future, specifically by 2025.
  • The report attributes this price hike to sustained tariffs averaging 17.8%, the highest rate since 1934, despite a recent 90-day tariff reduction on Chinese imports.
  • Footwear and clothing prices are especially affected, rising about 15% and 14% respectively, as importers pass added costs to consumers nationwide.
  • The analysis estimates that these tariffs will cost the average middle-class household more than $2,200 annually, down from an earlier forecast of $3,400 due to tariff pauses and trade deals.
  • The report cautions that tariffs may lead to a 0.4 percentage point increase in U.S. Unemployment rates by the end of 2025, while President Trump insists that these measures are crucial for revitalizing American manufacturing.
