Focus is on the upcoming “Liberation Day” for 25% tariffs

The feature US onAir Network post this week is on Inflation and the impact of tariffs.

Tariffs, by increasing import costs, are expected to lead to higher consumer prices and thus, contribute to inflation though the extent and duration of this impact depend on various factors like the magnitude of the tariffs and the ability of businesses to absorb costs or find substitutes.  For more on their impact, go to this section in the Inflation post.
