Impact of Trump's Tariffs Varies by State

Data from Trade Partnership Worldwide, via the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, indicates that states experience varying estimated tariff burdens from President Trump's trade actions since the beginning of 2025. California faces the largest burden at $62.8 billion, while Wyoming's burden is estimated at $107 million. The overall estimated tariff total is $342 billion through June 2026. Local industries influence the extent of the impact on communities, with Michigan's auto industry and Virginia's aerospace sector being notable examples. Michigan's tariff burden is $23.2 billion, equating to approximately $5,619 per household, the highest in the nation. The primary industries driving these costs include vehicles in Michigan, auto parts in Indiana and Ohio, toys and games in Minnesota, and food in Florida. In February, the Supreme Court struck down Trump's emergency-power tariffs, leading importers to seek refunds for billions in duties already paid. The data reflects tariffs collected through June 2026, including costs that may be refunded as alternative tariff approaches are explored by the administration. Axios analyzed state tariff estimates from Trade Partnership Worldwide, compiled by the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, using Census Bureau American Community Survey data for per-household equivalents.
