United States Senator Elizabeth Warren has commented on the impact of tariffs imposed under President Donald Trump's administration. According to Warren, "100 days into his presidency, Donald Trump’s red-light, green-light tariffs are shrinking our economy, with businesses stockpiling imports in anticipation of tariff doomsday." This, she claims, has led to a decline in consumer confidence, falling to its lowest level since May 2020.
Senator Warren, along with Senators Ron Wyden and Rand Paul, plans to initiate a vote intended to halt what she describes as Trump’s "tariffs emergency." Warren challenges Republicans in Congress to decide whether they will oppose or support these tariffs, which she argues could lead to a recession characterized by economic shrinkage, job losses, and increased prices for essential goods.
