The Best Black Friday Deals You Can Get Even Before Trump Tariffs

We don’t know exactly what the new year and new administration in America will bring. However, big changes are likely to occur in the world of technology. Especially if President-elect Donald Trump enacts all of the tariffs he threatened on the campaign trail. While there is no crystal ball to tell us exactly what will become more expensive or how much more expensive, there are several categories of expensive products that are at serious risk of being sold at prices that are out of reach for many people.

trump said on monday After campaigning for a 60% tariff on Chinese imports, he said he would impose “a 10% higher tariff than the additional tariff” on all goods coming from China. no way many of technology products are imported from China, including components used in products assembled elsewhere.

If you’re already in the market for technology and gadgets like TVs, laptops and phones, the good news is that a number of options are currently discounted for Black Friday. So if you’re worried you might be able to mitigate regrets if prices actually rise in the new year, it may be wise to go ahead with a big purchase now.

let me be very Let me be honest. The idea for this article originated from many of us. The Verge A friend or family member directly asks, “What should I buy now before tariffs hit?” It’s unclear what actions companies will take if U.S. tariffs on countries like China or Mexico are actually enacted. Companies may bear the costs or pass some or all of them on to us consumers. But if I had to guess, devices won’t get more expensive in the new year.

We’re not saying you should go crazy buying things or go into debt for things you’re not even sure you’ll use. Trump has a long history of failing to deliver on campaign promises, business deals and policy announcements. The same thing could happen here. But if you’re wondering what to buy this year instead of 2025, I hope this list can help.
