US consumers may not notice the ‘Made in India’ tag, but after Trump's tariffs, their wallets will


Listen Later

A 25% tariff on Indian textiles maybe a blow to India’s exports but that’s only half the story.

The latest trade move by Donald Trump could hit closer to home for American consumers. India is the third-largest supplier of apparel and home textiles to the U.S. after China and Vietnam. Both countries already face heavy tariffs from the US. Together, China, Vietnam, and India account for nearly 60% of American clothing imports.

So what happens when all three get taxed?

In this episode, we examine the possible ripple effects on American retailers, sustainable fashion, small brands along with the average Target shopper. Meanwhile, India isn’t sitting quietly. It’s already diversifying into Europe, Africa, and other regions.

Is this really about bringing back American jobs? Or will U.S. consumers be made to foot the bill?
