In her most recent AliExpress haul video, one thing has changed: she says she bought all the items on her wishlist “in anticipation for the tariffs.”

On April 2nd, President Donald Trump announced a new round of sweeping tariffs that will impact just about everything, and goods from China are expected to be among the hardest hit. The era of ultra-cheap hauls of low-cost items from retailers that manufacture their goods in China could be coming to a close.
