HP Raises Prices Amid Tariffs, Shifts Burden to US Consumers

Dell Cuts Discounts as Tariffs Hit, Passes Rising Cost to US Shoppers

Dell Technologies Inc. is cutting discounts on some of its computers and other products as the company struggles to absorb the rising cost of tariffs imposed by the US government, according to Bloomberg.

The move is a sign that the cost of the tariffs is being passed on to consumers, as companies like Dell try to maintain their profit margins. The tariffs, which were imposed by the Trump administration in 2018, have increased the cost of importing goods from China, where many computer components are made.

Dell has been offering discounts on some of its products to try to offset the higher costs, but the company has now decided to reduce those discounts as the tariffs continue to rise. The company has also been trying to increase prices on some of its products, but that has been met with resistance from consumers who are looking for deals.

The impact of the tariffs on Dell's business is likely to be significant. The company has said that the tariffs have increased its costs by tens of millions of dollars, and that it is trying to find ways to mitigate the impact of those costs.

The tariffs have also had a broader impact on the technology industry, as companies like Apple Inc. and HP Inc. have also been affected by the higher costs. The tariffs have been a major topic of discussion in recent months, as the Trump administration has continued to impose them on a wide range of goods imported from China.

In a statement, Dell said that it is "working to mitigate the impact of tariffs" and that it is "exploring all options to minimize the effects on our customers and partners." The company did not provide further details on its plans to address the tariffs.
