The tariffs will be paid by companies importing those goods into the U.S., with the cost eventually passed on to consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5975\">Pizza Hut Makes Bonkers New Name Change<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s tariffs were imposed under a long-dormant law, Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which allows a president to set tariffs against countries that discriminate against \u201ccommerce of the United States, directly or indirectly.\u201d Trump is the first U.S. president to use the Depression-era law to impose tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Carney warned that the Canadian government would impose retaliatory measures against the U.S. starting Sept. 8. The Journal\u2019s board noted that both sides could \u201cstill walk back from the ledge,\u201d but Trump\u2019s escalation could \u201cmake this harder for Mr. Carney politically since Canadians don\u2019t like being bullied by Washington.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>A fresh trade war, with the cost trickling down to U.S. consumers, could further exacerbate the financial hardships of tens of millions of Americans already suffering in a cost-of-living crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The president has been recording dire approval ratings on the economy throughout his second term, as voters turn on Trump over his original tariff plans and the war in Iran, which has sent gas prices soaring. Backlash to Trump\u2019s handling of the economy could doom Republicans in November\u2019s midterm elections, where the GOP could lose control of both the House and the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Trump\u2019s latest round of border taxes will hit an array of consumer goods, construction materials and manufacturing components. Republicans are already getting pounded on the campaign trail over his tariffs and inflation,\u201d the Journal\u2019s editorial board wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne reason for Mr. Trump\u2019s frigid approval rating is that voters believe Mr. Trump is waging blunderbuss wars without a strategy, and on trade they\u2019re right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5973\">Tornado Rips Through Long Island Beach Club<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rupert Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal blasted Donald Trump for reigniting a trade war with Canada just weeks away from the midterms.
