Trade Tribulation
Column Published in syndication February 05, 2025

Although the situation remains in flux and a temporary pause is fortunately in place, it bears repeating that sustained, significant tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico would be very costly to the US economy. Tariffs of 25% on virtually all goods imported from Mexico and Canada (except for Canadian energy products which are scheduled to be at a 10% rate) were recently announced. Such levies would begin to shred the gains that these countries have attained by stitching their economies together during three decades of free trade.

The Potential Economic Impact of Sustained, Significant Tariffs on Imports from Canada and Mexico
Brief Published on February 04, 2025

Although the situation remains in flux and a temporary pause is in place, one thing is very clear: sustained, significant tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico would be very costly to the US economy. Tariffs of 25% on virtually all goods imported from Mexico and Canada with the exception of Canadian energy products (which are scheduled to be 10%) were recently announced. If levies of this magnitude are sustained for one year, The Perryman Group estimates that about 1.9 million US jobs could be lost.
