President Trump's new 10% tariffs, impacting the global economy and raising US consumer prices, notably exempt the energy sector. This exemption, benefiting oil and gas companies who heavily funded Trump's campaign, contrasts with his promises to lower prices for Americans. While the exemption shields the sector from direct tariff impacts, indirect costs from increased steel and aluminum prices remain. Critics condemn this as favoring big oil donors over citizens, exacerbating economic woes and ignoring climate concerns.
