CNN: “The looming import taxes on Mexico, Canada and China will be a major test of Trump’s unorthodox use of tariffs, which he’s described as ‘the greatest thing ever invented.’”
“It’s an enormous gamble, arguably a bigger one than any economic policy Trump enacted during his four-plus years in the White House.
And this strategy has the potential to upend the thing many voters care about the most: the economy and the cost of living.”“But Trump’s tariffs pose a big risk: They could backfire, lifting already-high consumer prices at the grocery store, rocking the shaky stock market or killing jobs in a full-blown trade war.”
