those tariff levies.

The tariffs will be added to the price of the product imported by the U.S., and the consumer will end up paying for those tariff costs, unless of course the product manufacturer decides to lower the price of the product so the levied tariff price stays the same.

American car companies will have problems with that because of the increased cost of materials.

Both Ford and GM have told this administration that the tariffs will hurt them. So far that has fallen on deaf ears.

There is no question this is going to be significantly inflationary. The only thing Wall Street seems to care about right now is AI.

As for pushing companies incentivized to produce their products here to avoid the tariffs, the increased labor costs are going to be a factor, and will not be the panacea this administration sees.
