Empty Shelves Looming: Which Everyday Items Will Disappear First?
President Trump’s tariffs on imported goods are disrupting U.S. supply chains, leading to predicted shortages of various consumer products. While essential items like food will likely remain available, consumers can expect reduced selection and increased prices for many non-essential goods, particularly those sourced from China. Items such as fast fashion, toys, and certain home goods are predicted to be most affected, with shortages potentially becoming noticeable as early as the Fourth of July. This impact will not be immediate and will likely manifest as a gradual reduction in product variety over the coming months.
