Inflationary Impact of Tariffs and Rising Prices
Bitcoin's value surged over $65,000 amid easing inflation concerns, yet 37 months of high inflation in the US persist. Biden's decision to increase tariffs on various Chinese imports, including electric vehicles and metal products, aims to protect domestic businesses but leads to higher prices for Americans. These inflationary pressures stem from tariffs, as increasing costs for imported goods and materials are passed onto consumers, highlighting the ongoing dilemma of inflation under current policies.
