Trump's new tariffs could drive up prices, impact jobs, and shift global trade. Explore the economic effects and what’s at stake for consumers and businesses.

Taxes on imports could soon go up, as President Donald Trump signed a measure to have tariff rates match what other countries charge. “We had a very unfair system to us,” Trump said in the Oval Office.
