Trump’s Tariff Glitch: Billions Uncollected, Prices Still Soar

This inconsistency adds to existing confusion surrounding the tariff implementation timeline, fueled by erratic rate changes announced via social media and executive orders. The situation highlights significant challenges for customs brokers in navigating the constantly shifting regulatory landscape. Ultimately, the administration’s inability to effectively implement its own tariffs raises serious questions about the policy’s efficacy.
