Summary
Raising a child in the U.S. can cost around $320,000 over 17 years. The Trump administration's tariffs are expected to increase this cost as they affect products used by children such as clothes, food, and toys. Companies selling these items may also face financial strain and could discontinue certain products. This will likely make parenting in the U.S. even more expensive.
