Produce is one agricultural import slated to face considerable tariff levies in March 2025.

President Trump鈥檚 of his intention to set 25 percent additional tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico and 10 percent additional tariffs on China has sparked speculation about the potential impact on manufacturers, retailers and consumers.

International economist Andrew Greenland joins Due South to discuss how we got to this point in trade policy and what may be in store for North Carolina, if the retaliatory tariffs take effect.
