Trump Tariffs Spur Price Hikes Impacting US Consumers
The US government is putting new taxes (tariffs) on imported goods.
This means companies have to pay more to bring things into the US.
Because of this, some stores and brands are raising their prices, making things more expensive for people in America.
This includes items from clothes to luxury goods.
The government says these taxes help the economy, but some people are worried about the higher prices.

Wendy's has cut sales guidance due to rising costs.
Amazon and Walmart have also increased prices on some goods.
