The recent 20% tariff imposed by Donald Trump on the EU is set to have significant implications for Ireland, particularly affecting jobs, consumer spending, migration, and overall cost of living. However, while the tariffs could bring short-term advantages, like reduced petrol prices due to lower oil rates, they also suggest a shift in market dynamics. With a 34% US tariff on Chinese goods, European markets may witness an influx of cheaper products from Asia, potentially leading to reduced prices for imports such as electronics and toys, although this change carries risks for local economies.
Trump's 20pc tariff on the EU will impact Irish jobs, spending, migration and the cost of living.
Experts say we may see some short-term gains, with lower prices at petrol pumps because of a dip in oil prices.
