Americans Brace for Price Hikes as Trump Tariffs Take Effect

A Harris poll for the Guardian reveals that two-thirds of Americans believe Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China will lead to higher prices. The poll indicates that 69% of Americans, including majorities across political affiliations, expect tariffs to increase costs, with many planning purchases before potential price hikes. Economists and business executives agree that tariffs could raise consumer prices, potentially costing households an additional $2,600 annually. The poll also highlights a lack of understanding about tariffs, with misconceptions about who pays them.
