How Trump's tariffs are going to batter YOUR pocket
Share and Follow

President Donald Trump’s controversial global tariff plan is set to send the price of everyday items soaring. 

Various items in your everyday life, such as coffee, clothing, vehicles, and eyewear, are anticipated to become more expensive. This increase in prices is due to the imposition of substantial tariffs on imported goods from different countries.

Several companies have announced layoffs or product cancellations in response to the move, with Stellantis saying it will fire 900 workers at five US factories. 

Nintendo also said hours after Trump revealed his tariff plan that it was pausing the preorder of the much-anticipated Switch 2 gadget. 

The new levies take effect on Saturday starting with a base rate of 10 percent, upending industries including beauty products, supermarket goods and even sex toys. 

Trump appeared unmoved by the chaos he enacted on global markets, saying on Thursday that he viewed the nation as a patient needing emergency surgery. 

‘It was an operation. Like when a patient gets operated on and it’s a big thing. I said this would exactly be the way it is,’ the president told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House. 

Here, DailyMail.com takes a look at some of the items that are set to get more expensive in the near future thanks to the tariffs.

Ray Bans   

Americans looking to step up their eyewear as we head into summer may have to pay more for a pair of the brand beloved by former President Joe Biden. 

Most Ray Bans are produced in the mountainous Dolomites region of Italy, and is overseen by parent company EssilorLuxottica SA, which also makes brands Oakley and Vogue. 

Trump hit the European Union with a 20 percent reciprocal tariff on April 9, meaning the popular summer staple is likely about to get more expensive in the US. 

Botox 

Cosmetic surgery-loving Americans may soon have to shell out more for their favorite procedure as Botox could be hit by the levies. 

The company that makes Botox, AbbVie Inc., produces almost all the product on Ireland’s west coast in the town of Westport. 

Because Botox for aesthetics is not covered by insurance, price increases will hit the wallets of millions. 

The increase is likely to be unpopular on Trump’s home turf amid the rise of ‘Mar-a-Lago’ face.

Sex Toys 

Trump’s heavy tariffs on China are set to send the price of some of America’s favorite sex toys through the roof, per Bloomberg

China is among the top global producers of sex toys, manufacturing an estimated 70 percent of the world’s supply. 

The US market for sex toys stands at $10.6 billion, but with China hit with a tariff of 34 percent, products are likely to get more expensive. 

Trump addressed his tariffs on China in a Truth Social post on Saturday, saying the country had treated the US ‘unsustainably badly.’ 

‘We have been the dumb and helpless “whipping post,” but not any longer. We are bringing back jobs and businesses like never before,’ he said. 

‘Already, more than FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT, and rising fast! THIS IS AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION, AND WE WILL WIN. HANG TOUGH, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!’

Nespresso 

Nestle’s popular Nespresso coffee capsules are another product likely to be hit hard by the tariffs. 

Over 14 billion of the pods are sold worldwide every year, and they are manufactured solely inside Switzerland before they are shipped globally. 

Swiss imports to the US are set to be hit with a 31 percent tariff, with the nation slapped with one of the highest levies in Europe.

Oura Rings

Popular health tracking gadget Oura Ring is also likely to get more expensive thanks to Trump’s tariffs on Europe. 

The brand is owned by Finnish tech firm Oura Health Oy, with Trump’s 20 percent levies on the EU set to hit the Scandanavian country. 

Timo Vuori, Director of International Trade and Trade Policy at the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK), called the tariffs a ‘significant blow to EU and Finnish exports’ on Friday, per YLE

Hospital beds 

One of the world’s major suppliers of hospital beds said this week that it will be forced to raise prices in response to Trump’s tariffs. 

Czech company Linet Group said it will have to review its contracts with US clients and will likely need to focus on higher priced products to keep up its bottom line, reports Bloomberg. 

The firm’s CEO Tomas Kolar said exports to the US make up around 20 percent of the company’s annual sales. 

Another summer staple could be set for a price increase as Birkenstocks could go up along with the clothing industry

Birkenstocks 

Another summer staple could be set for a price increase as Birkenstocks could go up along with the clothing industry. 

The company behind Birkenstocks said on an earnings call reported by Bloomberg that it would look to take extra measures against price increases. 

The company, based in Germany, said it ‘historically had the ability to take pricing action globally’ to offset issues such as tariffs, meaning American customers may not feel the brunt as much as in other industries.
