How proposed tariffs would impact American businesses and consumers

NPR  

How proposed tariffs would impact American businesses and consumers MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: You might remember that news of Donald Trump's White House win sent stock markets soaring. So we are very excited about across-the-board, worldwide tariffs across every country for the products that we make, because then China can't find a way into the United States without going through tariffs. So a good example might be an imported electric motor that's used in a fishing boat that's made in the U.S. That manufacturer is going to have to pay higher prices. But for many other manufacturers, it's going to be a big negative, because, again, they're going to see the prices of the things that they import to build here in the United States increase.
