Trump's Tariffs and Potential Inflation Impact

Trump's Tariffs and Potential Inflation Impact

Donald Trump has been putting tariffs on goods from other countries, like China and India.

These tariffs are like extra taxes that make imported goods more expensive.

So far, prices haven't gone up a lot because companies are waiting to see what others do and because they still have goods they bought before the tariffs.

But if Trump puts even higher tariffs on China, it could make things much more expensive.

This is because supply chains, which are like the paths goods take from factories to stores, might break down.

When that happens, it can be harder to get goods, and that can make prices go up even more.
