April 3, 2025: from the 'Vinnews:
"Shoppers at a North Miami Beach kosher market are bracing for higher prices as new tariffs take effect under President Donald Trump’s economic policies.
"am Salem, owner of Yes! Kosher Market, says he will have to raise prices by as much as 25% due to the 10% tariff imposed on imported goods. The impact is especially severe for his store, where about half of the products come from international suppliers.
"he tariffs, which target a broad range of imports—including groceries, clothing, electronics, and even lumber—are part of Trump’s effort to push manufacturing back to the U.S. But business owners like Salem warn that consumers will bear the brunt of the added costs.
"While Trump insists the tariffs will strengthen the economy, many economists predict they will drive up costs for American families and slow down growth. For South Florida’s kosher shoppers, the effects are already hitting home."
