How Our Liberation Is Going

A year ago, President Trump ordered double-digit tariffs on virtually everything the U.S. imports…Here’s where things stand on the first anniversary of “Liberation Day”

• A boom in domestic manufacturing hasn’t happened
• Inflation remains elevated
• The trade deficit hasn’t changed much
• Import taxes are high, but not as high as a year ago
