From avocados to autos, Trump tariffs on Canada and Mexico could hit close to home

The 25% tax that President Donald Trump plans to slap as soon as Saturday on imports from Canada and Mexico could drive up the price of everything from gasoline to pickup trucks to the guacamole dip that features so prominently at American Super Bowl parties. The tariffs would also invite retaliation. Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, has already vowed to counterpunch by pulling American alcohol off store shelves in the Canadian province. Trump’s tariffs threaten to blow up the trade agreement he himself negotiated with America’s two neighbors in his first term.
