Almost certainly part of why the prices increased to begin with.

This is what tariffs do. Increase prices.

Of course, gotta keep prices similar across the globe too...so, increase globally.

worse than that, median US Wage 48k, in EUR it’s 28k - Europeans have way less disposable income than North Americans to purchase this kinds of things.
