President-elect Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs might be more of a political negotiating tactic than a set-in-stone policy, but the outcome is sure to have huge impacts on American consumers.

The magnitude of this tariff doesn't justify changing our economic forecast. But businesses involved in imports and exports must pay close attention to the details.
