Majority of US companies say they have to raise prices due to Trump tariffs

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : Though Trump has pulled back on many of the levies he initially proposed, key tariffs remain in place, including a 10% universal tariff on all US imports, a 30% tariff on Chinese imports and extra tariffs on specific industries like metal and auto parts.
46% : Nearly eight out of 10 American companies said that they frontloaded shipments to China before Trump announced his tariffs, with 25% saying they had started to front-load before the November 2024 election.
45% : Trump has insisted that tariffs will make America "very wealthy again", though it appears that American companies and consumers are simply expecting to pay higher prices as the tariffs settle into place.
39% : The survey found 42% of exporting companies now anticipate turnover to decline between -2% and -10% over the next 12 months, compared to fewer than 5% before 2 April "liberation day" - when Trump unveiled his tariff policy.
