  A closer look at potential import taxes on goods from China, Mexico, and Canada indicate which product prices should rise first—and why U.S. companies may have a harder time passing those expenses on to consumers than during the President-elect's first term.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs, if implemented, could significantly increase import prices in the U.S. Trump has suggested a 10% tariff on all imports and a 60% or higher tariff on Chinese goods. These tariffs would likely lead to higher costs for American consumers and businesses, as importers would pass on the additional costs. Sectors most affected would include electronics, machinery, and apparel, where China is a major supplier. The article also notes that while tariffs might protect some domestic industries, they could provoke retaliatory tariffs from other countries, potentially harming U.S. exporters. Furthermore, the economic impact could include inflation, reduced consumer spending power, and possibly a decrease in economic growth due to increased costs and trade tensions.
