Trump set to plow ahead with new tariffs that could surpass what he did in his entire first term
Published On Mar 3, 2025, 5:07 PM
Former President Donald Trump plans to implement a new round of tariffs on key trading partners, including 25% duties on imports from Canada and Mexico and increasing tariffs on China imports to 20%. This marks a significant escalation of his tariff strategy, potentially surpassing the economic impact of the tariffs from his first term. The impacts are expected to be widespread, including rising costs for American consumers and retaliatory measures from affected nations. Analysts predict these tariffs could cost U.S. households an additional $1,000 a year. Financial markets have reacted poorly, with stocks dropping due to concerns over the economic implications of such tariffs.

With the impending tariffs and potential retaliatory measures from Canada, Mexico, and China, businesses that rely on imports from these countries may face increased costs, reducing their profit margins. This environment could lead to decreased consumer spending, particularly impacting stocks in affected sectors such as consumer goods and industrials. Moreover, ongoing trade tensions are likely to create volatility in the markets, discouraging investment and potentially leading to a recession if left unchecked.
