Deep dives
The Impact of Trump's Proposed Tariffs
Donald Trump has proposed imposing significant tariffs, including a 25% tax on products coming from Mexico and Canada, as a response to perceived increases in crime and drug trafficking. He also suggested an additional 10% tariff on China, particularly targeting the influx of fentanyl and other drugs. These tariffs are designed to pressure these countries to take stronger actions against illegal immigration and drug exports. However, the imposition of these tariffs could lead to increased consumer prices in the U.S., impacting lower-income households the most.
