Shoppers in the US are urged to buy certain items before their prices rise due to new tariffs introduced by President Trump.
Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has imposed numerous tariffs on imports, including a 10% baseline tax and higher rates for countries on his “worst offenders” list, such as Japan (24%), South Africa (30%), and Vietnam (46%).
Experts warn that everyday items will become more expensive, so consumers are encouraged to stock up on items like bananas, avocados, coffee, tea, cars, furniture, washers, dryers, clothes, and toys. These tariffs, which took effect on April 5, coincided with a significant drop in global stocks and a weakening US dollar.
Former President Obama has criticized Trump’s tariffs, expressing concerns that they could harm the US economy. He emphasized his disagreement with Trump’s economic policies and the government’s stance on free speech.
