    Principal U.S. Economist at The Hartford

    The geopolitical environment is becoming increasingly complex, and the use tariffs has expanded in the West. While tariffs may bring geopolitical value, they also have economic consequences. The outlook is skewed toward higher tariffs in 2025 and beyond, and it appears tariffs are becoming a bipartisan topic. In this environment, it has become critical for business leaders to understand the potential implications. If tariffs increase sharply and broadly: ➡️ U.S. imports and exports could decline by up to 23.0% Tariffs raise the cost of imports, and they’re frequently met with retaliatory tariffs from other nations, so cross-border trade often declines. ➡️ Factory output could contract by up to 7.2% Some argue that tariffs boost U.S. manufacturing by reducing international competition. But the opposite typically occurs and U.S. manufacturing declines. Tariffs make imports more costly, which gives U.S. factories the ability to raise their own prices. Higher costs push some customers out of the market, so factories make fewer products. ➡️ Logistics jobs could fall by up to 3.2% Logistics demand boomed in 2021 and 2022 during the inventory restocking frenzy. But logistics jobs declined consistently in 2023 and early 2024 as the sector began rightsizing. Tariffs could be another headwind for an industry under pressure. ➡️ Core inflation could increase by up to 1.3% The U.S. imports more than $3 trillion of goods and services annually. For decades, imports from nations with low manufacturing costs helped U.S. inflation stay low. New tariffs could reverse this trend, placing upward pressure on consumer prices. ➡️ Steel prices could climb by up to 4.2% The U.S. imports 25M-35M metric tons of steel annually, and steel prices impact construction more than almost any other sector. Construction costs increased quickly in 2021 and 2022, causing ripple effects throughout the economy. Higher tariffs could lead to yet another round of cost increases. ➡️ Auto & parts prices could rise by up to 6.5% The U.S. imports 3.5M-6.0M autos annually, 2.1M-2.8M light trucks, and more than $160 billion in auto parts. Higher tariffs could raise the average cost of new cars by more than $3,000. So why are tariffs enacted in the first place? Because they can offer geopolitical value. They are able to shield key industries from international competition, protect national security by limiting foreign access to critical technology, reduce competition in emerging sectors, and enhance international political negotiations.
