I really don't see an issue as far as the tariffs. Several things are being overhyped.

NAFTA and whatever other agreements that they are currently using have been a disaster that have been about increasing corporate profits more than reducing prices for consumers.

It has been further fueled by the desire to keep access to products but moved overseas so we don't have the messy production here. Instead of cleaning the production, they just moved it overseas without the environmental controls. It's OK for all the products to be made with energy from burning coal over there as long as we have the wind farms and solar farms to be able to virtue signal here.

Rest assured. These multi-national corporations will just shuffle things in from different ports. Instead of coming from China, or Mexico, the parts will be moved across another border to to be assembled cheaply and they will slap a new "Made in XXXX" sticker on it and load it up in a container and send it on its way.

If you MUST have your Canadian Maple Syrup, you can still get it or you can buy some from Vermont that doesn't have the premium price rolled in. Maybe you might try a different topping or just have something else for breakfast. The world won't end.

A trade war is much better one to have than the kind our previous administrations have been conducting for the past 50 years or so.
