This video breaks down the economic decisions behind recent tariff hikes, their immediate effects on global financial markets, and the far-reaching consequences for U.S. households, farmers, and industries. With data-driven analysis and historical context—like the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act—we reveal how tariffs act as hidden taxes, disrupt supply chains, and threaten global prosperity.
