President Trump’s administration has instituted a 10% tariff on a wide array of imports, prompting concerns that back-to-school expenses for apparel could rise sharply. Industry groups warn that these tariffs, impacting 97% of U.S. clothing and shoes, could see prices soar. For example, children's shoes currently priced at $26 could jump to $41. The tariffs—up to 54% on Chinese goods and 46% on imports from Vietnam—are expected to disrupt global supply chains and exacerbate price pressures for consumers already facing inflation. Amid a historic market downturn, Trump's trade strategy faces robust international backlash, particularly from China.
