Trump doubles down on his tariff proposal, denying a shift in approach
Published On Jan 6, 2025, 12:18 PM
President-elect Donald Trump is reaffirming his commitment to significant tariff increases to fund his economic agenda, despite conflicting signals from his aides about possibly limiting tariffs to critical imports. His approach aims to generate revenue through tariffs, which he claims will offset the costs associated with his tax cut proposals. However, the economic feasibility of such a strategy is questioned by experts, given the historical minimum impact of tariffs on overall federal revenue and related economic implications. The conflicting messages have resulted in volatility in the markets, particularly affecting the US dollar.
