“So a tariff on goods coming into the USA. Who pays for that?”

Are you being intentionally obtuse or you really don’t know?

It’s essentially a tax on everything that is imported to US from Mexico. It will raise prices on those items which will make the Mexican product unattractive price wise to the consumer making another choice preferable.

If it’s an item that can’t be imported form another source.....Just don’t buy it. Pretty simple really.

Thanks. I assumed it would raise the price in the USA thus
the consumer here would pay more if they continued to buy.

Mexico was #3 on our import list.

Peru and Chile must be gearing up to enhance their position in certain food markets. American tomato growers will probably construct some new warehouses. The Mexican cattle industry (much of which is controlled by US investors), can move back to the USA. Sale of Mexican lard will be reduced (thank God!). The 99 Cent Stores will have to call themselves the One Dollar Five Cent Store.
