Back in January, Whirlpool Corp. was singing the praises of President Donald Trump’s tariffs -- after they were slapped on the washing machines made by overseas rivals.

By April, however, the appliance maker was whistling a different tune.

Trump’s subsequent steel tariff and rising prices on resin will contribute to a jump of as much as $300 million in raw materials this year, Whirlpool said in its first-quarter earnings presentation. That’s $50 million more than what the Benton Harbor, Michigan-based company predictedas recently as January.

Steel prices in particular have surged after Trump implemented a 25 percent tariff on imports in addition to a 10 percent tariff on aluminum. In the first quarter, the rising costs hit Whirlpool’s North American and European results by $25 million. The company’s Latin American division is taking a $15 million hit, while in Asia it’s $10 million, according to Whirlpool.

Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson Inc. and Wabco Holdings Inc., a supplier of braking, suspension and transmission systems to commercial vehicle manufacturers, have also complained this week about the added costs of raw materials.
