Trump tariff projections: - Cost to typical family: $2,600/yr (Peterson); - Gas price hike: 75 cent/gallon (GasBuddy); - Poorest pay 6% more (ITEP); - US stock contraction: ~10% (UBS); - ~20% decline in GM earnings (Evercore); - 684K fewer jobs (Tax Foundation) washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Trump's tariff plans could lead to economic isolation, affecting global markets and increasing costs for American consumers.
