Consequences of Feb 1 Tariffs?

The president said he planned to put tariffs on America’s neighbors on (or by) Feb. 1, as he signed an executive order mandating a sweeping review of U.S. trade policy. Claudia is trying to keep a cool head but "this is a big one," to quote Trump. How might this play out? <

He threatened to put tariffs on Mexico and Canada February 1, 2025. He's trying to be the tough guy but both nations have heard it before.

I truly hope Scheinbaum says, "Sure, pal. Go ahead and slap those tariffs on us. We're nice and warm down here. We have plenty to eat, too."

It's the middle of a brutal winter, even in Florida presently. The orange crop is done for. When there are no Florida oranges, where does he think they'll come from? Mexico already exports 40% of all produce consumed during the winter in the USA. Grocery prices will soar.

Bird flu is spreading in the USA and tens of thousands of chickens had to be destroyed. That means chicken and egg prices will soar as well. When your adversary is digging a hole for himself, step aside and let him keep digging.
