He has also threatened to increase tariffs on our largest trading partners, Canada and Mexico, to as much as 25%.
“People have brought a massive amount of products in the run-up to these tariff increases,” he said. “That’s putting pressure on freight, which adds to the overall cost of carrying inventory.”Some companies are either starting manufacturing facilities or partnering with foreign manufacturers in countries where tariffs will be relatively lower, like India, Vietnam, Malaysia, South Korea, and parts of Latin America.
