Washington:
As the global financial market falls in view of US President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff, Americans will also have to struggle with a possible long -lasting impact on the domestic budget.
Tariff – which are paid in the first example by American importers – possibly increase the price of many domestic goods in the United States and reduce consumers’ spending power.
Grocery shop cost
According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the US imports a growing stake of fresh fruits and vegetables every year.
Many fresh items come from Canada and Mexico, two countries did not immediately affect the tariffs announced on Wednesday.
But other items will collide with the prescribed stinging duties to be implemented this month.
For example, the United States imports large amounts of bananas from Latin American countries of Guatemala, Ecuador and Costa Rica, which will all face 10 percent tariffs from April 5.
Coffee – out of which about 80 percent of which is imported, according to the USDA – the price hike is likely to see that the top exporters Brazil and Colombia will also face the new baseline rate of 10 percent.
Olive oil and alcohol imports from Italy, Spain and Greece will be hit with a new 20 percent levy against the European Union from 9 April.
And Thai Jasmine Rice and Indian Basmati rice will have to face 36 percent and 26 percent tariff respectively, while the Indian shrimp – which the US has imported in large quantities – will face the same 26 percent rate.
Electronics and cars
Consumers electronics are also ready to be hit with standing tariffs in this month, given how many products have been manufactured or gathered in India and China.
Despite steps to expand its supply chain, Apple still makes the vast majority of its iPhones in China, through the supplier Foxconn, where hardware exports will be hit with a total of 54 percent tariff from April 9.
Apple’s analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that American buyers of high-ended iPhones, who account for 70 percent of the sales, are relatively more accepting the price growth. “
At the top of measures announced on Wednesday, the Trump administration has also rolled out 25 percent of tariffs against vehicles not done in the United States – one step analysts warned that the average car costs thousands of people.
Shoes, clothes
Shares of clothing and textile companies, which rely on cheap labor in countries including China and Vietnam, fell rapidly on Thursday, in which Nike drowned more than 13 percent and stabbed a gap of more than 20 percent.
The new tariff announced on Wednesday means that imports from China and Vietnam to the United States will be done at 54 percent and 46 percent respectively.
Yale’s budget lab estimated that the impact of the recent tariffs has been estimated after Wednesday’s announcement, which would increase the cost of clothes and textiles by 17 percent.
The think tank calculated that the overall impact on the prices of tariffs declared so far was equal to the average of domestic consumer loss per $ 3,800.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Trump insisted that the tariffs would make the United States “very rich”.
“The operation is over,” he said, recently referring to the tariff declaration. “And now we let it settle down.”
