- Without the levies, prices in the studied categories would have fallen by nearly 1% by early 2026.
- Each additional percentage point in the average tariff raised prices roughly 0.25% one year later, researchers said.
- About two-thirds of the tariff-related price increase came directly from levies, with the remainder stemming from knock-on effects.
- The report says consumers are still expected to pay elevated prices into 2027 because of the policy.
Tariffs have a larger and more drawn-out impact on consumer prices than the direct effect alone would suggest.— From a New York Fed study authored by Mary Amiti, Sebastian Heise and David Weinstein (New York Fed).

- Trump cited US national interests when waiving the measures days before their scheduled implementation under last month’s law.
- The law provided tariffs of up to 100% on goods from the five largest importers of Russian oil or gas.
- China opposed the bill’s asserted extraterritorial reach, while India warned new tariffs could affect bilateral relations.
- Democrat Don Beyer condemned the waiver, while Putin’s investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev described it as historic.
Trump’s latest surrender to Putin again betrays our Ukrainian partners and defies clear congressional intent of legislation designed to punish Russia for its illegal war of aggression.— Don Beyer, U.S. Representative (D‑Va.), commenting on Trump's waiver of Russia-related sanctions.

- Cleveland-Cliffs, Stelco’s U.S. parent, says tariffs and market pressures could cause up to 500 job cuts.
- Mike Watts received his layoff notice Friday and learned his last day was approaching, after 21 years of service.
- Watts says the plant ships slabs to the United States despite companies in British Columbia and Honda in Alliston wanting Canadian steel.
- Melanie Joly noted the U.S. owner supported steel tariffs and therefore could not portray their effects as uncontrollable.
I take it as Cleveland-Cliffs using it as blackmail, that’s how I see it.— Mike Watts, Stelco employee, in an interview with CTV News Channel

- According to Bild, both levies are expected to generate €2.5 billion in additional annual federal revenue.
- The government links them to less plastic packaging, reduced waste and incentives for manufacturers to produce less sugary drinks.
- According to Bild, the relevant draft laws provide for 1,046 civil-service posts; whether they are newly created or transferred remains unclear.
- Reiner Holznagel of the taxpayers’ association criticizes the plans, while SPD Secretary-General Esra Limbacher defends the sugar tax.
More than 1,000 new positions just for two new taxes—that's bureaucratic nonsense, as announced. Instead of finally scrutinizing spending and structures, the government is once again trying to fill budget holes with new taxes. That's the wrong path.— Reiner Holznagel of the Bund der Deutschen Steuerzahler, commenting on plans to hire more than 1,000 staff to implement the new taxes
