The Trump administration's proposed tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada could significantly reshape industries, consumer markets, and the broader U.S. economy. This episode of “Baker Briefing,” recorded in front of a live audience, explored these pivotal changes. Baker Institute experts representing China, Mexico, energy, and tax policy discussed the potential effects on oil production and trade, shifts in the pricing of imported goods, and the broader economic consequences. Thank you for joining us for a dynamic discussion on the far-reaching implications of these policies for American businesses, industries, and consumers.
This event was free and open to the public.
