Weatherhead’s Sue Helper comments on President Trump’s new tariffs

How Trump’s latest tariffs could affect your wallet
Associated PressSue Helper, the Frank Tracy Carlton Professor of Economics at Weatherhead School of Management, said President Trump’s new tariffs could raise prices on everything from food to clothing, disproportionately hurting low-income households. She warned that the move lacks the stability businesses need. “There isn’t enough certainty for businesses to invest and create new and better jobs,” Helper said, noting that tariffs may also worsen inflation and prolong economic strain.
