The implementation of high tariffs, especially on imports from China, has resulted in increased prices for American consumers, countering Trump's insistence that they wouldn't.
Applications for tariff exemptions will likely depend not just on financial hardship but also on political connections, particularly contributions to Republican campaigns.
Statistical analysis suggests that businesses with Republican affiliations received tariff exemption approvals at a significantly higher rate than those aligned with Democrats.
As tariff proposals under Trump expand in scope and scale, the potential for political favoritism in exemption decisions could increase significantly.
