Trump's tariffs on Mexico and Canada could raise U.S. grocery prices

President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose a 25-percent tariff on products from Mexico and Canada starting on his first day in office. This move aims to address drug and migrant issues at the border. Economic analysts warn that these tariffs could raise grocery prices in the U.S. Many essential produce items, like tomatoes and avocados, are imported from Mexico. A recent poll shows that 69 percent of Americans believe these tariffs will lead to higher food costs. Trump's tariffs may violate the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which allows for duty-free trade among the countries. Critics, including Democratic Senator Roland Gutierrez, argue that this could negatively impact American consumers.
