  • The White House won't switch ownership for weeks, but President-elect Trump is already dancing the tariff tango. His announcement of a 25% tariff on all imports from Canada and Mexico sent a shiver through markets last week.

The article "Sunday Snapshot: Trump's Tariff Toolkit" from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's strategy of using tariffs as a key economic policy tool, particularly in the context of his potential 2024 presidential run. Trump has historically favored tariffs to protect American industries, reduce trade deficits, and pressure other countries into better trade deals. The piece outlines how Trump's tariff policies have been both praised for protecting domestic industries and criticized for increasing costs for consumers and businesses, potentially sparking trade wars. It also mentions his recent comments on imposing a 10% tariff on all imports and a 60% tariff on Chinese goods, reflecting his ongoing commitment to this approach. The article provides insights into the economic implications of these policies, the political reactions they've elicited, and how they fit into Trump's broader economic philosophy of "America First."
