From Groceries to Cars, Tariffs Could Raise Prices for U.S. Consumers

President Trump’s tariffs target countries that are major suppliers of a wide range of goods to the United States.

For American families, the likely result is higher prices nearly everywhere they turn — in grocery aisles, at car dealerships, at electronics stores and at the pump.

On Tuesday, new levies on goods imported from Mexico, Canada and China went into effect, according to executive orders issued by the Trump administration.

All products coming from China are subject to a 20 percent tax, up from 10 percent.
