The Hill · July 24, 2026Original source ↗
What happened
The United States has enacted new tariffs on imports from 60 countries, including China, Japan, and Australia, with rates ranging from 10 percent to 12.5 percent. The tariffs took effect shortly after midnight on Friday and apply to nearly all goods entering the U.S.
Why it matters
These tariffs could impact international trade relations and prices for consumers in the U.S.
Who feels this
If you rent your home
Higher tariffs could lead to increased prices for goods, which may affect rental prices as landlords pass on costs to tenants.
If you are a small business owner
Small business owners may face higher costs for imported goods, potentially leading to increased prices for consumers or reduced profit margins.
If you are an hourly worker
Hourly workers might see an increase in the cost of living if prices for everyday goods rise due to the new tariffs.
