Donald Trump's newly announced tariffs have raised the average U.S. import duty to 29%, the highest since 1900, raising concerns about negative impacts on American workers, such as job losses and increased prices. While various business organizations have voiced opposition to the tariffs, historical patterns suggest these entities lack the unity and initiative to challenge the Republican party. The fragmented nature of American corporate lobbying hinders a coordinated response, even during significant economic changes. Therefore, while the tariffs pose a major threat, the business community's reaction may ultimately fall short of meaningful resistance.
Faced with Trump's tariffs, the business class is unlikely to respond meaningfully, as it is not in the lobby's nature to confront the Republican party.
Despite the negative impacts of the tariffs, unified corporate lobbying in the U.S. is rare and often fails to present a strong front against political decisions.
