- Trump administration implements tariffs reaching 20.6% average effective rate, highest since 1910 — The Trump administration has rolled out tariffs on overseas products that have reached a 20.6% average effective tariff rate—the highest level since 1910, according to Yale's Budget Lab. The erratic rollout, characterized by daily warnings, threats, and delays, has driven up consumer prices across categories including food, appliances, and clothing. Federal Reserve Chair Powell has stated that tariff costs will ultimately be passed to consumers and will contribute to inflation above the Fed's 2% target, contradicting Trump's campaign promise to reduce prices.
