Major new tariffs will impact Arizona’s trading partners as of Tuesday, with a 25% tariff on goods imported from Mexico and Canada and a doubled tariff of 20% on goods from China. President Trump says these tariffs are meant to pressure Mexico and Canada to address issues like fentanyl smuggling and illegal immigration.
Arizona consumers can expect to see price increases on a variety of products, including car parts, cattle, tomatoes, avocados, and limes. With nearly $12 billion worth of goods imported from Mexico to Arizona in 2023, these new tariffs will have a significant impact on the state’s economy.
Business owners along the southern border are anticipating delays and increased paperwork as a result of the new tariffs. U.S. Senator Mark Kelly warns that blanket tariffs on major trading partners like Mexico and Canada are a disadvantage for Arizona families. President Trump has suggested that tariffs on agricultural products from other countries could be implemented next.
