How Trump's trade war could affect the cost of your breakfast
Briefly

Beginning next month, Trump's tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will impose a 25% tax, likely increasing costs for popular breakfast items like avocados, salmon, and maple syrup. The US primarily relies on Mexico for avocados and Canada for salmon, raising concerns over the rising prices of brunch staples. Economists indicate that domestic production cannot meet consumption demands, leading consumers to feel the financial impact. Experts note that these tariffs underscore the crucial trade relationships the US has for essential food items.
Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico will impose a 25% tax on most imported products, potentially raising consumer prices on breakfast staples like avocados, salmon, and maple syrup.
The price of avocado toast could rise as US farmers can't meet consumer demand, heavily relying on Mexico's optimal avocado-growing conditions due to trade ties.
Canada exports 96% of its salmon to the US, which could see increased prices impacting staples like lox bagels amid Trump's tariff strategies.
With the US producing only 4 million gallons of maple syrup yearly, the price could climb as Canada supplies about 75% of the global market.
