Analysts consider impact of Trump tariffs — SupplyChainBrain.com

Retailers will have to make tough decisions once Trump’s tariffs go into effect:

“Breteau notes that retailers will likely try to stock up on inventories in the U.S. before Trump arrives in office, but eventually, companies will either have to pay the price to import their products once their pre-tariff stockpiles run dry, or absorb the added costs themselves and risk a hit to their profit margins. And although some could look to shift production out of China and into countries like Vietnam or Bangladesh, even that ‘isn’t a perfect fix.‘”
