Yup. Duh. Studies show that when tariffs cause foreign product prices to rise, rather than leaving their prices the same, US brands raise theirs to match because they don’t want their product to seem cheaply made. (But also price gouging)
I tried to find the video I watched about it, but I watched it pre-US Election. The internet is flooded with more recent tariff videos.
I think it was by Vox Media and it was specifically about tariffs or inflation, more generally.
