The new tariffs on imports from all three nations ‒ which are on top of existing tariffs ‒ went into effect Saturday.

Americans rely heavily on their bordering countries for everyday grocery items. President Trump’s plan to impose a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian goods could drive up food prices for the average shopper.

In retaliation, China put tariffs on US imports, including soybeans and corn. This caused farming revenues to drop by more than $10 billion, with Trump then subsidizing the farmers. The Council on Foreign Relations calculated that around 92 percent of the funds raised from tariffs on Chinese imports were spent on bailouts to farmers.
