A report published Friday reveals how President Donald Trump\u2019s policies have jacked up prices for a host of potential Father\u2019s Day gifts this year.<\/p>\n

Overall, the analysis by Groundwork Collaborative, a progressive economic think tank and advocacy group, finds that prices for popular Father\u2019s Day gifts have risen by nearly 19% on average over the last year, highlighted by a 30% increase in the price of Remington electric shavers, a 16% jump for Blackstone electric griddles, and a barbecue tools up by 11%.<\/p>\n

The analysis traces price increases of popular personal care products to Trump\u2019s global trade war, which he began last year with his \u201cLiberation Day\u201d tariffs levied on practically every nation in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany shavers and trimmers are imported from China, which has faced multiple layers of tariffs,\u201d notes the report, \u201cin addition to containing steel and aluminum components, which are also subject to additional tariffs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report also points out that electric shaver manufacturer Braun \u201cincreased the price of its Series 9 All-in-One Beard Trimmer by $50\u201d last year after Trump\u2019s big tariff announcement, and that the price has since gone up by another $10.<\/p>\n

Examining the increase in grilling product prices, the report pins the blame not only on Trump\u2019s tariffs, but also his illegal war of choice with Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Middle East is a major producer of the petrochemical used to make plastics and synthetic fibers,\u201d the report explains. \u201cTrump\u2019s reckless war on Iran has increased the price of these petroleum-derived products, helping drive up the cost of items like grilling tools, which cost nearly 22% more this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Pancotti, managing director of policy and advocacy at Groundwork Collaborative, summarized the report\u2019s findings by warning that \u201cDads are in for disappointment this Father\u2019s Day\u201d thanks to Trump\u2019s economic policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile dads across the country should be able to relax and enjoy the day with loved ones,\u201d Pancotti added, \u201cthey\u2019re instead forced to worry about how they\u2019ll make ends meet in Trump\u2019s economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s tariffs and the Iran war have sent inflation in the US to its highest levels in three years. As data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) last week showed, overall prices in May posted a yearly increase of 4.2%, highlighted by a 23.5% yearly increase in energy prices.<\/p>\n

Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, said last week that inflation has now grown \u201cso high that it\u2019s erasing all wage gains\u201d being made by American workers.<\/p>\n
