- Tariffs are taxes on imported goods that increase costs for manufacturers and consumers due to multi-border supply chains.
- Trump employs tariffs to address the $1 trillion US trade deficit and to potentially boost federal revenue amid tax cuts.
- Raising tariffs could reduce global output by 0.3% and increase inflation by 0.4 percentage points annually over three years.
- The US, along with Canada and Mexico, would face significant economic impacts, with China and the EU as major deficit partners.
