American consumers feel the pinch of Trump prices

The prices were unleashed – and temporarily, almost capricious, interrupted – by American president Donald Trump gave governments around the world a headache when they determine how to minimize the disturbances of their economies. But the American consumer, ironically, could be the true victim of prices.

During the weekend, TEMU, a Chinese e-tailer known to offer articles that respect portfolios, hiking prices, citing “import costs”. The analysis of Gabrielle Fonrouge of CNBC and Annie Palmer noted that these costs can cost more than the articles themselves and finally double the price of a typical order.

Something worse than price increases, it is when daily necessities are not available for purchase. Some American stores could see empty shelves in a few weeks because the impact of prices on China is starting to filter in the economy, according to the Apollo asset management company.

It is true that China exports much more to the United States than it imposes on the country, as pointed out by the US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent. But the involvement of this commercial relationship is that the American consumer has more to lose when China exports slowly to a net.
