U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s latest promise to slap 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods—and a 10% levy on Chinese products—has ignited debate over who’ll foot the bill. Critics warn these moves could backfire, hitting American wallets harder than intended.
Trump claims tariffs will address the U.S. opioid crisis, blaming China for fentanyl flows. But experts argue the plan \"shifts blame instead of solving problems\"—ignoring domestic challenges like outdated industries and corporate failures.
Economists agree: U.S. consumers pay for tariffs through higher prices on everything from groceries to gadgets. Mexico’s leader Claudia Sheinbaum and Canada’s Ontario Premier Doug Ford also slammed the proposal, calling it a \"threat to jobs on both sides of the border.\"
Meanwhile, Beijing reiterated that tariffs \"benefit no one\"—a stance backed by years of data. As the 2024 election heats up, one question looms: Are tariffs a solution or just political theater?
