How will the new EU‑U.S. trade deal affect American consumers and businesses?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Sang. The European Union's the latest to agree to President Trump's new trade terms. Under the deal, EU goods will be taxed at a fifteen percent rate, half of what the US threatened to impose as of this Friday perfectly. When tariffs are set to take effect for dozens more countries. Ernie Tadusky was a top economic advisor for the Biden White House and now works as director of economics at the budget lab at Yale University. He breaks down what tariffs will mean for the average consumer.
It is going to raise costs for American consumers and businesses, right? So the economic research that has been done on tariffs, and there's been extensive economic research, and what we've seen so far this year suggests that foreign producers are not absorbing virtually any of the tariffs that have been imposed by the United States so far. So that means it's really up to American businesses and American consumers to bear them.

Before the Census Bureau tries to get a count of all US residents once a decade, it puts together a list of all the country's home addresses. Ahead of the twenty twenty count, the Bureau hired door knockers to help verify about a third of those addresses. But Yvonne Jones of the Government Accountability Office says this decade the Bureau is not planning to hire those temporary workers. Instead it's going to rely more on satellite images and have the Bureau's staff and AI analyze them.
Their belief is using these newer, more updated methods may allow them to gather the information as accurately, but faster and at a lower cost.
It can be difficult using satellite images to identify homes in more densely populated areas. Vier tells GAO it plans to send out trained staff when needed.
