President Donald Trump's tariffs will take their toll on fresh-food prices — and the confidence of the American consumer.

The article from MarketWatch titled "Revenge of the Killer Tomato Tariffs" discusses the ongoing trade disputes between the U.S. and Mexico concerning tomato imports. It highlights how the U.S. Commerce Department's decision to potentially reinstate tariffs on Mexican tomatoes could lead to higher prices for consumers and disrupt the supply chain. The piece explains that these tariffs were initially suspended under a 2019 Tomato Suspension Agreement, which allowed Mexican tomatoes to enter the U.S. duty-free under certain conditions. However, U.S. tomato growers argue that Mexican producers are still dumping tomatoes at below-market prices, prompting calls for the tariffs to be reimposed. The article also touches on the political and economic implications, including potential retaliation from Mexico, the impact on U.S. grocery prices, and the broader context of U.S.-Mexico trade relations amidst other trade tensions.
