The Guardian is seeking input from US readers on how holiday shopping plans are being influenced by President Trump's tariffs and the ongoing rise in the cost of living.
According to a recent New York Times report, the Trump administration is shifting toward an affordability message and considering lowering some tariff rates on products such as coffee and fruit to ease consumer expenses.
Trump has also contemplated giving Americans $2,000 funded by tariff revenue and discussed a proposal for 50-year mortgages.
A Harris poll conducted in September found that 74% of Americans feel that their monthly household costs have increased by more than $100, highlighting the widespread financial impact faced by many households.
