Washington, D.C. The White House is preparing to unveil a new set of tariffs, prompting reactions from both economists and late-night comedians. Stephen Colbert, host of 'The Late Show,' joked about the announcement's location in the Rose Garden, saying it exemplified how economic policy is now delivered with the flair of a reality television show.

Critics argue that these tariffs could harm American consumers by raising the cost of goods.
