Tariffs can help protect American businesses by encouraging local production and preserving jobs. However, they also raise the cost of imported goods, which forces stores to pass on these expenses to consumers. We might face higher bills, fewer jobs, and slower economic growth.

Retirement income hasn't risen to meet rising prices. How are we supposed to compensate?

What do we really need from Mexico? Definitely less illegal immigrants, and that is being worked on. Their shoddy autos? Make them at plants in the US. And Canada, and their petroleum? That's why its drill, baby drill...which should have been U.S. policy for past 50 years.

We had the Biden tariff for 4 years. Can't get worse than his incompetence.

No effect of the United States

Toasty

If anything occurs, the effect will be temporary until the markets adjust. Funny KMIZ didn't have similar pols under Biden's double-digit inflation. Where was the media's outrage then? I know, orange man bad.

We are only in this mess because of former presidents from BOTH parties. Sometimes healing is painful.

I already do. It pays to drive to Boonville when I can get gas for $3.16 at Breaktime vs $3.58 ish in Columbia.

The United States should take everything it wants.

Eric Smith

Why not ask the Cubans, say in a vote, where they all get to voice their feelings, and not suppressed by their communist government.

Max

If we don't, then Disneyland might get it, and they would ruin it.

This has nothing to do with America 1st! Trump & the GOP can't handle what is happening in the US. Let alone messing up the Governments of other Countries. No one Voted for the U.S. to overthrow other Nations to take over their Governments. They Voted to have US problems fixed, not make them worse.

Kevin Blount

Of course not! So much for expecting a peace prize. Trump is as bad as Putin

Fred

We LIBERATE countries ... we don't try to colonize them!
