This is an extremely dynamic story, to the extent that by the time you read this, the US. And the latest decision or news on the tariff between its North American neighbors (not to mention China) may have moved forward.
So maybe the best thing we can do here is to refer a little on how big a deal is Tariff Will be here.
The main thing to remember is that North America, in impact, has been a decades -free trade sector. The goods move back and forth toward the borders so often the number of crossings is almost inaccessible.

If the US from Canada Suddenly cost 25% more to bring a piston, then imagine extrapolating that journey daily in each component: that means the cost of many goods increases.
How much? It’s hard to say, but consider that among them, Canada, Mexico and China account for 40% of all US imports.
They account for about 60% of ENERGY Raza imports.

In the meantime, tariff spells costs for American consumers.

Some time ago, most high frequency economic measures suggested that the US economy remained strong.
But in recent weeks, high-frequency measures of activity suggest that the US economy is facing a very intense recession. Indeed, the steps of Atlanta Fed’s “GDPNO” nosecast recently pointed to the US economy at an annual rate of 2.8% in the first quarter of the year.
