“I don’t think the government expects the voting public to resolve this issue in the first weeks or months of this administration, but we’ve reached where we’re heading for midterm elections, and If people are still finding prices that are rising, rising or happening in all categories, that will be political,” Hume said.

Hume said a similar situation had a negative impact on former President Joe Biden.

“It’s basically a political issue that killed the former president’s political status. That’s something to be noted,” Hume said.

Trump used tariffs to put pressure on Canada and Mexico and to make concessions to deal with the crisis at the southern border. Trump is expected to apply a 25% tariff on goods imported from Mexico and Canada, with an additional 10% tariff on Canadian oil, natural gas and electricity. Despite these substantial fees, Trump only imposes 10% tariffs on the cheapest US imports: oil.
