President Trump’s new tariffs have sparked backlash from Mexico, Canada, China, and Democratic lawmakers in the U.S., setting the stage for a potential trade war. The tariffs, set to go into effect later this week, have raised concerns about rising prices on a range of consumer goods.
NBC News’ Yamiche Alcindor reports on the growing tensions surrounding the new tariffs, highlighting the potential impact on global trade relations. Meanwhile, NBC News’ Christine Romans explains how these tariffs could lead to price increases on essentials like gas, cars, food, and electronics.
The repercussions of these tariffs are far-reaching, with experts warning that consumers could see higher costs on everyday items. Smartphones and gaming consoles, in particular, could become more expensive as a result of the trade dispute.
As countries and lawmakers react to President Trump’s latest economic policies, the future of international trade remains uncertain. With the threat of rising prices looming, it is essential for consumers to stay informed and prepared for potential changes in the market.

Tariffs will pay for tax cuts for rich people.
Mexico needs to make their country so that their people will not want to leave it.
I knew a man from Mexico who said that he could work in Mexico and only have enough money to buy food for the day and in America he could work buy food, shoes and live a good life. Why can’t Mexico do the same for their people.
I can do without avocados and pork has too much fat.
Oddly enough all those "victim" countries never offered to negotiate a better deal to prevent this. They just want everything their way.
Canada and Mexico were asked to solidify their border. They didn't. I bet they do now.

Lowlife thug criminal Trump belongs to prison.

Rew risk? I hate it when they rew risk. What did risk ever do to deserve the rew treatment?
Promised to lower prices, then immediately starts a trade war.. Trump supporters, is he ignorant or a liar?
If the country wouldn’t have been flushed down the toilet the last 4 years we wouldn’t be in this position. Should have elected Trump in 2020
Stupid Trump and GOP illegal immigrants from Mexico and China. Leave Canada alone

Even a first year economics major knows tariffs just make products cost more.

President Trump and his family won't experience any change to the food on their plates, I assume.
Short term pain for long term gain.
Nobody cares what China does 😂
What a bully.. might as well, press on that nuclear button
The ONLY REAL reason prices of goods are being passed onto the consumer is because of foolish, childish games being played. US citizens need to be RELIEVED of the INCOME tax burden we pay so dearly to AND tarriffs can fund a SMALLER scaled government. Done deal! Be good to go back to no income tax. IF the government DOES need some funding from it's citizens take it as a consume tax, it will ENCOURAGE a more frugal society and less waste in the landfills
