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

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.

Mike Pyrtle

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

Do you believe the POTUS should have broad authority to impose tariffs on other countries?

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
