Is the TACO Trade Still in Effect?
We got a new slew of tariffs over the weekend. President Trump announced 30% tariffs on goods from the European Union and Mexico. They’re scheduled to take effect on August 1. This adds to the 50% tariffs on goods from Brazil… 35% on goods from Canada… and probably a few others I’m forgetting about. So, how much of this is real? How much of it is a President Trump negotiating tactic? Most important, what effects will it have on the economy and on our wealth?
