Independence Day celebrations might be a bit less explosive this year. Fans of fireworks are feeling the burn as the "Liberation Day" tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump have driven up prices for firecrackers and fireworks. This means that for many, the nighttime burst of colors comes with a steeper price tag.
Business owners and consumers alike are voicing their concerns. With higher costs involved, some sellers may cut back orders or pass the extra expense on to buyers, potentially leading to smaller, less dazzling displays. The festive spirit could face a setback if budgets force a scaled-down celebration.
As debates heat up over these tariffs, many are calling for a review of the policy, arguing that increased costs are dampening a cherished holiday tradition. Will the spark of tradition be enough to outshine rising prices? 🎆
