CBO warns tariffs could hurt economic growth via YahooFinance

In a new report, the CBO said over the next decade, the federal government’s red ink will flow much deeper than forecast — primarily because of the bipartisan budget deal passed last month.

“Tariffs also affect business investment by increasing businesses’ uncertainty about future barriers to trade and thus their perceptions of risks associated with investment in the United States and abroad,” it added. The expected jump will partly offset by a drop in interest costs, helped by interest rates that have sunk to record lows in recent days. Those savings translate into a $1.1 trillion net reduction in the CBO’s projections over the following 10 years, the agency said.
