Tariffs have caused the price of American flowers to soar by 200%, experts suggest giving paper flowers for Mother's Day.
Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year in the United States, and flowers are a traditional gift that holds an important place. However, this year, due to the impact of the Trump administration's tariff policies, the prices of flowers in the United States have significantly increased compared to previous years, and businesses are noticeably not as good as in the past. According to a report by CNN cited by CCTV Finance, about 80% of the flowers sold in the American market rely on imports, and this year the prices of flowers in the market are almost double what they were last Mother's Day. Under the heavy pressure, experts suggest considering the emerging trend of "origami flower bouquets" to save costs. According to a survey by an online consumer platform in the United States, due to tariffs and concerns about the economic outlook, Mother's Day-related expenses for American consumers have decreased by 14% compared to last year.
