It ignores services, supply chains, investment — everything real trade depends on.

Confusion reigns as Trump announces more tariffs | CNN Business Momentary relief was met with the stark reality Friday that President Donald Trump is not done with this chaotic tariff regimen.

If Trump enacts 25% tariffs on Mexico & Canada, the avg American household faces a $1,200/yr tax hike- biggest since 1993. Even with 2017 tax cuts extended, the bottom 60% of earners would still be worse off. Tariffs=hidden tax on working families. #EconPolicy #TradeWar

Instead of starting costly trade wars, just because he can, the focus should have been on negotiating or renegotiating #fairtrade agreements that strengthen our partnerships and boost economic growth. Our allies aren’t the enemy.
#TradeNotTariffs #EconPolicy #GlobalPartnerships

Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canada & Mexico start Feb 1—aimed at trade deficits, but the real cost? Higher prices for gas, food, & goods for Americans. Canada & Mexico vow retaliation. Trade wars don’t help working people.

Fiscal sustainability is key, but tough choices lie ahead:

💰 Across-the-board cuts hurt GDP & jobs

📉 Hitting low-income programs has outsized effects.

🎯 Smart, targeted policies matter.
