Common questions
about tariffs, trade

May was a rough month for free trade advocates and

investors.

President Trump raised the tariff rate to 25 percent on
$200 billion worth of nearly 6,000 imported Chinese goods,
bringing the total to $250 billion of Chinese imports at that
rate. Then in a surprise move, the president reignited the
trade conflict with Mexico via tweet, saying the U.S. would
impose 5% tariffs on all Mexican imports starting June 10.

Those tariffs would increase by 5 percentage points
