What 3 specific products are going to be way more expensive for American consumers as a result of Donald Trump’s new tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China?

This week, Business Insider looked at the №1 import from each of those countries, and folks … you’re not gonna like it.

First off, expect to pay more for energy — including gas for your car.

The №1 import from Canada, which faces the prospect of a 25% tariff — is crude oil.

Oh, and the things you put oil into will be more expensive too.

The №1 import from Mexico, which would also see 25% tariffs, are vehicle parts and accessories.

The second-biggest imports from both countries are trucks and cars.

As for China, which Trump says he’ll hit with tariffs as high as 60%?

Prices to rise 46%?

Those will hit the very devices you’re using to read this.

The number 1 import from China is mobile phones, while the second biggest is computers.

As this piece from Vox notes:

“The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) estimates prices for laptops and video game consoles would rise by 46 and 40 percent, respectively
