The U.S. will implement 25% tariffs on exports from Canada and Mexico, alongside an additional 10% on Chinese goods, affecting various industries. This move fulfills Trump’s campaign pledge to impose sweeping tariffs on trade partners and may raise consumer prices, as companies may pass on costs to shoppers. The auto industry, heavily reliant on cross-border assembly, could be particularly affected, potentially making U.S. vehicles less competitive. Experts estimate these tariffs could reduce American after-tax income by 1%, with working-class families feeling the greatest impact.
Tariffs function like an additional tax on goods and are often passed onto consumers. Some retailers have already warned that they could be forced to raise prices.
Due to the complicated auto industry supply chains criss-crossing North America, a single car component could cross the U.S. border six to eight times before final assembly.
The tariffs will reduce Americans' after-tax income by 1%, hitting working-class Americans especially hard.
