Real estate agents need to stay updated on tariff news due to its significant effects on the economy. A 10% tariff on imported goods has been implemented. Retailers face increased costs due to tariffs, likely passing these costs to consumers. The Trump administration promotes tariffs to revive U.S. manufacturing, though economists express concern over their rapid increase and potential negative effects. Historically, tariffs have a complex relationship with Congress, as they have delegated significant authority to the executive branch regarding tariff imposition.
As of mid-April, a 10% across-the-board tariff on all imported goods has been levied, with country-specific tariffs either in effect or temporarily paused.
One of the stated goals of the Trump administration's tariffs is to bring manufacturing back to the United States.
Economists warn that the pace of tariffs in 2025 is dangerous. Without the manufacturing infrastructure in place, there is no way for US companies to create the goods the country imports.
Tariffs tend to affect domestic consumers more than trading partners or the companies that import goods.
