US President Donald Trump has acknowledged that his tariffs on Chinese products could lead to fewer toys and higher prices for American families. The comments came during a Cabinet meeting, where Trump suggested that the duties may mean consumers will have to settle for fewer, more expensive items.
Nearly 80% of toys sold in the US are made by Chinese factories, which has raised concerns among retailers about price increases. Trump insisted that China is feeling “tremendous difficulties” due to low demand, but he believes Americans don’t need many of the products the country makes.
The potential impact on toy prices was illustrated by a hypothetical example: two dolls instead of 30, with a higher price tag. Trump’s comments highlight the uncertainty and potential consequences of his trade policies on everyday consumers.
