The wave of new tariffs to be applied to all nations decided by US President Donald Trump, which are sometimes imposed and sometimes negotiations with the other party, is detrimental to the American citizens and for the US economy. He denounces it today without the National Retail Federation (NRF), the association American retail trade which, by the voice of the Executive Vice President for Institutional Relations: David French, called on "the administration to negotiate agreements binding trade standards that genuinely open up markets by lowering the duties, not increasing them. Tariffs - French recalled - are taxes paid by U.S. importers and are eventually transferred to U.S. consumers. These higher tariffs will harm Americans, including consumers, retailers, and their employees, and the producers, because the consequence of the will be an increase in prices, a reduction in recruitment costs, lower investment and more innovative slow".

That a rapid rise in inflation in the United States is not one of the effects envisaged by the governments of other nations with the intent to make Trump retrace his steps but a concrete possibility, indeed an inevitable consequence of politics commercial of the federal administration, French confirmed: "So far," he warned, "retailers have managed to contain prices, but in the coming weeks the new tariffs will have an impact on the goods. We listened in person to small retailers concerned about their ability to continue to work despite these unsustainable customs duties".
